—Martin  P.  Tupper. 


THIS  book  is  produced  primarily  for  the  use  and  information  of 
the  family.  Embodying  as  it  does  the  essence  of  numberless 
family  records,  cherished  in  hundreds  of  households,  with  per- 
sonal biographies  and  domestic  particulars  of  little  concern  to  the  out- 
side world,  it  partakes  of  the  character  of  private  papers,  and  bespeaks 
for  itself  the  consideration  usually  accorded  to  such. 

In  a  rational  consideration  of  family  history  one  need  not  go  to  the 
length  of  transplanting  here  the  ancestor-worship  of  the  Chinese,  or 
to  the  depth  of  rummaging  the  tombs  of  the  dead  for  a  decoration 
wherewith  to  distinguish  the  living.  On  the  other  hand,  genealogies 
are  surely  not  idle  or  unprofitable  if,  in  linking  us  with  the  past,  even 
though  a  dead  past,  they  serve  to  reanimate  it  with  such  color  of  life 
as  enables  us  the  better  to  interpret  the  present  and  anticipate  the 
future.  The  simple  duty  apparent  and  welcome  to  open  minds  and 
uncorrupted  hearts  is  to  know  who  and  what  our  ancestors  were,  in 
actual  life,  for  filial  reasons  and  for  the  sake  of  the  knowledge  itself, 
if  not  for  our  own  sake.  Prom  a  discriminating  study  one  must  arrive 
at  the  conviction  that,  after  all,  social  radiance  can  in  reality  emanate 
only  from  one's  own  light,  and  not  from  the  reflected  beams  of  an 
ancestor. 

With  some  appreciation  of  this  philosophy  I  have  pursued  my  re- 
searches as  to  the  Dorlands,  and  have  considered  them  in  a  spirit 
respectful,  if  not  reverential.  I  have  found  little  to  their  discredit, 
and  much  to  their  credit ;  and  what  I  have  found  has  been  set  down 
impartially  and  without  favor,  except  that  proportionately  more  space

has  been  devoted  to  the  emigrants  and  their  immediate  successors 
than  to  their  later  descendants,  to  the  end  that  the  memory  of  those 
remote,  in  preference  to  those  more  recent  and  readily  accessible, 
might  at  once  be  rescued  from  threatened  oblivion. 

The  family  history  presents  a  great  diversity  of  experience  :  and 
this  experience  and  the  chronicles  of  the  several  branches,  including 
their  individual  life-records,  their  p  'esent  and  past  distribution,  and 
their  varied  vicissitudes  in  successive  epochs,  constitute  the  theme  of 
this  volume. 

There  may  be  a  touch  of  pathos  in  the  circumstance  that  a  majority 
of  these  life-records  are  compressed  within  the  brief  epitome  of  birth, 
marriage,  and  death.  But  it  is  not  to  be  inferred  that  these  meagre 
/  life-marks  are  all  that  can  be  given  :  they  suffice  to  suggest  and  recall 
'  to  those  who  knew  the  subjects  in  the  flesh,  all  needful  particulars. 
Probably  in  every  home  circle  where  exists  the  vacant  chair,  its  de- 
parted occupant — 

'  Named  softly  as  the  household  name  of  one  whotn  God  hath  taken  "— 

has  been  keenly  missed  ever  since,  and  in  many  such  cases  anything 
more  than  a  mere  mention  would  be  distressing  surplusage.  As  to 
other  individuals,  gone  hence  to  the  undiscovered  country  long  ago, 
further  details  are  presented,  measured  by  the  means  of  information  at 
hand  and  the  evident  merits  of  the  subjects.  Regarding  certain  of 
these  individuals,  from  the  special  interest  attaching  to  them,  every 
pertinent  scrap  of  information  has  been  ^-ladly  availed  of.  Where 
gaps  occur  and  particulars  are  wanting  in  families  of  the  present 
generation,  the  reader  will  understand  either  that  these  particulars  are 
not  deemed  essential  or  else  that  they  could  not  be  supplied  without 
undue  difficulty  and  delay.  The  space  afforded  by  the  wide  margins 
and  blank  pages  at  the  end  will  permit  the  addition  of  personal 
annotations  from  time  to  time,  to  eke  out  the  text  and  record  later 
memoranda. 

John  Quincy  Adams  remarked  truly  that  "  posterity  delights  in 
details."  To  minister  to  the  enjoyment  of  the  Dori,and  posterity  I 
have  essayed  to  supply,  by  way  of  coloring,  such  details  as  will  convey 
a  concrete  idea  of  the  life  and  surroundings  of  our  ancestors,  and  of 
the  important  events  associated  with  them  and  their  times. 

The  method  of  statement  devised  in  the  genealogical  schedules  is  a 
departure  from  the  conventional  form,  but  it  seems  to  offer  some 
advantages  over  the  accepted  method  in  that  it  presents  at  a  glance 
the  membership  of  each  family  circle  and  at  the  same  time  preserves

a  lineal  continuity.  It  evolved  itself  naturally  from  the  necessities 
of  the  work,  and  it  is  hoped  that  it  will  be  found  self-explanatory 
and  more  satisfactory  than  the  usual  form.  The  posterity  of  the 
emigrants  is  here  traced,  contrary  to  the  usual  custom,  in  the  female 
as  well  as  the  male  lines,  wherever  practicable  ;  and  it  is  hoped  that 
this  feature  also  may  commend  itself  to  the  reader. 

As  the  title  indicates,  this  hook  concerns  only  DoRr.ANDS  in  America. 
To  trace  the  family  back  to  its  source  across  the  water  would  perhaps 
involve  the  labor  of  a  lifetime.  I  have  received  intimations  that  the 
family  originated  in  France,  possibly  in  the  city  of  Orleans,  and 
thence  removed  in  whole  or  in  part  to  Holland,  perhaps  to  the  village 
of  Breiickelen  ;  and  that,  in  addition  to  its  appearance  in  America, 
it  has  been  lapresented  subsequently,  under  the  form  of  Darling,  on 
the  eastern  coasts  of  England  and  Scotland.  This  latter  intimation  is 
supported  by  the  coincidence  that  all  the  coats-of-anns  which  I  have 
examined  of  English  and  Scottish  Darlings  bear  a  striking  resem- 
blance to  the  DOK'.AND  arms,  though  varied  as  to  personal  crests, 
and  seem  to  be  f'tunded  upon  a  common  basis,  of  remote  Continental 
origin.  But,  lacking  facilities  and  opportunity  for  the  prosecution  of  a 
thorough  inquiry  abroad,  I  have  confined  myself  within  the  restric- 
tions prescribed  by  the  title,  and  have  found  therein  an  ample 
field  for  the  exercise  of  whatever  patience  and  ingenuity  I  may 
possess.  I  may  add  simply,  the  coat-of-arms  here  presented  indicates 
that  the  D0RI.ANDS  did  have  a  history  acro&s  the  water. 

The  historical  resources  I  have  utilized,  In  addition  to  the  reposi- 
tories of  public  records,  are  the  Library  of  Congress  at  Washington, 
the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania  at  Philadelphia,  the  Astor  and 
Lennox  Library  at  New  York,  the  Long  Island  Historical  Society  at 
Brooklyn,  and  the  New  York  State  Library  at  Albany. 

Many  interesting  tradition  the  family  in  various  localities  have 
come  to  my  notice,  but  upon  full  analysis  I  have  found  it  safest  to 
pay  but  little  attention  to  their  literal  import.  Many  of  them  bear  a 
strong  affinity  to  each  other,  but  the  most  of  them  are  alike  erroneous 
and  misleading,  if  accepted  literally,  and  practically  all  of  thpm  are  as 
ambiguous  as  the  utterances  of  the  ancient  oracle  of  Delphi— seeming 
to  palter  with  the  truth  in  a  double  sense.  They  become  intelligible 
only  when  interpreted  in  the  light  of  definite  information  drawn  from 
other  sources,  and  have  proven  useful  chiefly  as  suggestions  for  lines 
of  patient  investigation.

Preface. 


;/ 


For  all  errors,  shortcomings,  and  inaccuracies  I  beg  the  indulgence 
of  the  generous  reader.  In  a  work  like  this,  bristling  witli  dates  and 
names,  absolute  correctness  is  scarcely  attainable.  In  fact  I  doubt  if 
such  a  thing  as  perfection  is  possible  in  any  elaborate  genealogy. 
My  only  hope  is  to  have  reduced,  by  assiduous  care  in  sifting  and 
verifying  every  item,  the  number  of  possible  errors  to  a  minimum. 
Further,  though  I  have  endeavored  to  include  in  this  history  all  the 
traceable  branches  of  the  Dori,ands,  I  apprehend  that,  despite  my 
efforts,  some  branches  may  have  been  overlooked.  In  a  country  so 
extensive  as  North  America  it  would  be  indeed  surprising  if  any  net 
could  be  woven  big  enough  and  comprehensive  enough  to  encompass 
all  the  scattered  children  of  a  family  so  old  and  prolific  and  restless  as 
the  DORLANDS.  Some  lines  have  snapped  otf  short  and  thus  been  lost 
to  further  searching  ;  and  it  may  be  anticipated  that  fresh  researches, 
following  the  publication  of  this  volume,  will  lead  to  their  recovery, 
and  perhaps  the  discovery  of  new  lines.  I  shall  be  gratified  if  such 
should  be  an  indirect  result  of  this  work.  In  any  event  I  shall  take 
comfort  from  the  hope  that,  should  a  second  enthusiast  arise  in  the 
family  to  trace  its  history  and  carry  it  forward,  his  labors  will  be  the 
lighter  in  consequence  of  mine.  The  thought  which  I  have  bestowed 
upon  these  records,  the  pilgrimages  I  have  made  in  search  of  them, 
and  the  drudgery  I  have  willingly  performed  in  their  compilation 
have  brought  me  their  own  reward  in  two  years'  instructive  pastime, 
and — 

"  Howsoever  they  be  done, 
I  leave  them  as  a  father  does  his  son." 

To  all  of  the  kindred  who  have  aided  this  work,  I  return  cordial 
thanks  ;  and  it  gives  me  pleasure  to  acknowledge  my  special  obliga- 
tions, for  zealous  and  hearty  co-operation  in  supplying  records,  to —

'T'HK  Borland  Family  in  America,  with  all  its  branches 
bearing  modified  form.s  of  the  family  name,  .sprang 
from  two  emigrant  brothers  from  Holland,  Jan  GerkETse 
DoRLANDT  and  Lambert  Janse  Dorlandt,  who  came  to  the 
New  Netherlands  in  the  years  1652  and  1663,  in  the  time  of 
Peter  Stuyvesant. 

The  family  is  not  a  large  one  comparatively,  and  yet  by 
no  reader  of  this  book  will  it  be  deemed  a  particularly  small 
one.  For  three  centuries  it  has  consisted  of  good  people, 
with  scarcely  an  exception  ; — intelligent,  patriotic,  sturdy, 
industrious.  God-fearing  people ;  plain  and  unpretentious 
as  a  rule,  and  animated  by  little  wordly  ambition,  but  char- 
acterized by  exceptional  vitality,  .strength  of  will,  and  stability 
of  character.  From  the  early  Knickerbocker  days  in  New 
York  the  family  has  borne  a  creditable  part  in  the  history  of 
the  American  Colonies  and  of  the  United  States  and  Canada, 
botli  in  peace  and  in  war  ;  and  though  few  of  its  members 
have  been  conspicuous  in  the  rolls  of  military  fame,  or  pre- 


2  The  Dorland  Family. 

eminent  in  civil  life  by  reason  of  notable  public  acts,  it  has 
contributed  a  full  quota  to  the  sum-total  of  sound  and  sub- 
stantial American  citizenship.  Incidentally,  few  Doklands 
have  been  unable  to  make  their  own  signatures ;  none  of 
them  is  known  to  have  ever  been  jailed  as  a  criminal ;  they 
have  uniformly  enjoyed  the  respect  and  esteem  of  all  com- 
munities wherein  they  have  flourished,  and  the  family  name 
has  invariably  stood  as  a  guarantee  of  the  personal  honor 
and  merit  of  its  possessor.     ''.^''^^ 

According  to  the  prevailing  custom  in  Holland,  children  in 
the  New  Netherlands  received,  in  addition  to  the  baptismal 
name,  the  name  of  the  father,  or,  sometimes,  of  the  mother, 
with  the  suffix  zoott  oi  .,  meaning  son  (or  daughter) — this 
patronymic  forming  a  liddle  name  in  early  families.  In 
writing,  the  termination  seji  was  frequently  contracted  into 
se,  and  to  z  or  s.  From  this  it  would  appear  that  Jan  Ger- 
RETSE  DoRi^ANDT,  the  emigrant,  and  the  first  of  the  name 
of  whom  we  have  definite  information,  was  a  son  of  one 
Grrret  Dori-Andt  ;  and  in  the  ca.se  of  Lambert  Jansb 
DoRLANDT  it  is  believed  the  "Janse"  (matron ymic)  came 
from  his  mother,  whose  name  before  marriage  is  supposed 
to  have  been  Jansen  or  Johnson.  Perhaps  these  parents 
came  to  America  also,  but  there  is  no  certain  account  of 
them.*  Jan  Gkrretse  Dorlandt  and  Lambert  Janse 
DORLANDT  each  had  a  son  GerrET,  and  by  way  of  distin- 
guishing them  from  each  other  the  parental  middle  names 
were  transmitted  to  them,  contrary  to  the  usual  rule  ; — ^Jan 
Gerretse's  son  Gerret  being  known  as  Gerret  Ger-

General  Review. 


RETSB  DoRtANDT,  and  Lambert  Jansb's  as  Gkrret  Janse 

DORLANDT.* 

No  evidence  has  been  found  showing  the  ori'^in  of  any 
branch  of  Dorlands  in  this  country  from  a  .  >  rce  other 
than  the  two  emigrants  as  above.  But  no  less  than  six 
distinct  forms  of  the  name  are  used  to-day  by  branches  of 
the  family,  and  on  this  account  certain  of  these  branches 
have  no  idea  of  their  relationship  to  the  others. 

The  name  Borland  in  the  original  Dutch  signifies  "dry- 
land "  or  "  dry  ground."!  The  variations  in  its  for  in- 
chiefly  attributable  to  phonetic  causes  and  to  laxity  ii;  sijcll- 
ing  in  early  times.  Precision  ir  the  orthography  of  names, 
it  should  be  remembered,  is  the  partial  acquisiti m  of  he

scriveners  ami  copyists.  It  can  be  readily  understood  that 
in  negligently  attempting  to  reproduce  the  name  from  its 
popular  sound  it  could  be  written  Dorlon  or  Dori.an  with- 
out violence.  Hence  came  those  forms.  If  we  slur  the 
vowel  0  it  would  resemble  the  sound  of  the  vowel  u  ;  and 
hence  came  the  form  Durland.  If  now  we  elide  the  final 
d,  as  is  frequently  done  in  pronunciation,  it  would  sound 
precisely  like  Durlin.  In  writing  it  in  that  form  by  sound, 
the  uninstructed  pre.sumably  thought  they  were  perfecting 
it  by  supplying  a  final  g,  making  it  Durung,  by  analogy 
with  similar  words  ending  in  ing  ;  and  we  know  that  a  name 
once  written  in  a  particular  way  is  often  accepted  by  the 
owner.  These  five  distinct  forms  are  to-day  borne  by 
various  branches  of  Dorlands  whose  descent  is  traced  back 
with  exactness  link  by  link  lo  the  emigrant  Dori^andts  ; 
and  in  addition,  the  form  Darijng  is  used  by  a  small 
offshoot  of  the  Dorlan  branch  (Penn.sylvania),  whose  rep- 
resentatives, in  changing  the  form  from  Dorlan,  are  said 
to  have  supposed  they  were  thereby  returning  to  first  prin- 
ciples, having  heard  that  the  Darling  family  of  England  and 
Scotland,  rendered  notable  liy  the  heroism  of  Grace  Dnrling, 
was  identical  with  the  original  Dorland  family.  In  the 
genealogical  schedules  in  this  volume  an  attempt  has  been 
made  to  locate  the  precise  generation  in  which  each  modified 
form  of  the  name  was  adopted  and  established.  Several  of 
these  forms  have  been  used  at  successive  periods  by  single 
lineal  branches.  Other  deviations  from  the  original  have 
been  encountered  both  in  print  and  in  manuscript  records, 
and  some  of  these  appear  in  footnotes  aud  extracts  in  the 
course  of  this  volume. 


General  Review, 


Both  of  the  emigrant  brothers  settled  first  in  the  then  little 
village  and  township  of  Brooklyn,  and  soon  became  promi- 
nent there.  The  elder  lived  and  died  there,  bnt  the  younger 
removed  after  some  years  to  Staten  Island  and,  late  in  life, 
to  New  Jersey.  Their  children  settled,  some  of  them,  in 
Brooklyn  township,  and  others  in  the  near  vicinity  on  Long 
Island — at  Flatbush,  Flatlands,  New  Utrecht,  Gravesend, 
Jamaica,  and  Hempstead,  and  on  Staten  Island,  across  the 
Narrows. 

The  early  colonists  of  the  New  Netherlands,  of  whom  the 
early  Dorlands  formed  a  part  and  parcel,  in  some  respects 
of  quality  and  character  resembled  the  first  New  England 
colonists  and  the  oppressed  exiles  who  founded  at  a  later 
date  Penn's  free  commonwealth.  The  hardy  Dutch  emi- 
grants brought  with  them  their  wives  and  families,  and 
they  meant  to  stay  and  grow  up  with  the  country.  In  their 
Fatherland  the  old  feudal  order  had  disintegrated,  and 
society  had  experienced  a  radical  renovation  ;  and  the 
Dutch  race,  emancipated  from  the  shackles  that  had  bound 
it  for  nges,  had  lately  risen  to  international  influence,  had 
become  a  prime  factor  in  all  the  larger  fields  of  progressive 
enterprise  and  trade,  and  was  then  leading  the  van  in  liberal 
education  and  in  all  the  varied  arts  of  honoralile  industry. 

With  the  Holland  emigrants  had  also  come  French 
Huguenots,  and  Walloon  emigrants  of  Gallic  extraction 
from  the  Belgic  provinces,  whose  immediate  ancestors  had 
suffered  persecution  for  conscience'  sake,  and  who  them- 
selves were  ardently  devoted  to  the  cause  of  civil  and  re- 
ligious liberty.  These  settled  chiefly  in  New  Amsterdam, 
on  Staten  Island,  and  ou  the  western  end  of  I<ong  Island  ;

and,  intermingled  with  them,  and  sprinkled  over  the  middle 
and  eastern  end  of  Long  Island,  were  I'^nglish  reformers 
who  had  been  onsted  by  the  Puritans  from  New  England, 
and  some  Independents  or  Presbyterians  from  Yorkshire  and 
elsewhere,  who  had  fled  from  the  oppression  of  Charles  I 
and  were  of  the  spirit  and  temper  of  their  class  in  England 
at  the  time  of  their  emigration.  The  children  of  many  of 
these  became  Quakers  ;  and  within  all  these  diverse  elements 
burned  a  connnon  zeal  for  the  simplicity  and  purity  of  the 
Protestant  religion.  And  the  whole  mass  was  leavened  and 
harmonized  by  the  broad  and  dominating  philosophy  of 
Dutch  toleration,  to  which  the  modern  world  at  large  owes 
so  much  for  its  civilization  ajid  progress,  to  which  the  United 
States  largely  owes  its  independent  entity,  and  to  which  the 
present  State  and  people  of  New  York  owe  their  commercial 
and  material  greatness. 

In  their  management  of  the  affairs  of  th'.'  Colony  the 
Dutch  are  declared  to  have  won  for  theniFilves  from  the 
outset  the  respect  of  all  on-lookers.  They  were  more  sensi- 
ble and  liberal  in  their  policy  toward  the  Indians  than  were 
any  of  their  neighbors  ;  and  their  admirable  traits  of  char- 
acter,— their  patience  and  perseverance  under  trials,  their 
honesty  and  integrity,  their  love  of  education  and  indepen- 
dence, and  their  painstaking  industry  and  thrift, — were  all 
indelibly  stamped  upon  the  fabric  of  their  Colony,  and, 
handed  down  by  successive  generations,  still  remain  visibly 
exemplified  in  the  acknowledged  supremacy  of  the  Empire 
State.  Their  chief  insistence  as  to  government  was  that  it 
should  be  stable  and  fairly  liberal ;  and  they  seem  to  have 
adjusted  themselves  easily  and  satisfactorily  to  the  alternate

throw of  the  Dutch  in  1664.* 

The  mode  of  life,  habits,  customs,  circumstances,  and 
surroundings  of  the  early  Dorlands  can  only  be  judged 
from  the  records  left  concerning  contemporaneous  conditions 
among  the  Dutch  settlers  generally.  We  know  that  the 
early  Dorlands  were  respected  and  well-to-do  citizens  of 
the  Colony,  and  if  we  picture  them  in  harmony  with  the 
conditions  and  institutions  known  to  have  been  prevalent 
around  them,  we  shall  doubtless  not  go  far  astray  from  a 
true  understanding  of  their  situation. 

No  one  can  enjoy  more  keenlj'  the  genial  humor  of  Irving' s 
Knickerbocker  caricatures  than  the  descendants  of  those 
same  early  Dutch  settlers.  Despite  the  ludicrous  exagger- 
ation, we  can  see  the  point  even  more  clearly  than  those  not 
of  the  elect,  and  can  laugh  at  it  even  to  the  limit  of  tears, 
and  from  our  fuller  appreciation  derive  even  more  merriment 
than  others  pcssibly  can.  And  we  can  well  afiford  to  laugh, 
for  amid  the  roystering  fun  and  beneath  the  mirth-provoking 
exterior  in  which  those  people  are  delineated,  we  can  discern 
what  others  may  not — a  neces.sary  and  underlying  basis  of 
excellent  merit.  Otiierwise  there  were  no  tangible  body 
whereon  to  hang  the  grotesque  vesture  of  raillery,  and  no 
buoyancy  to  bear  it  up.f

The  Dorland  Family. 


That  was  literally  the  day  of  small  things.  The  village 
of  Brooklyn  and  the  adjacent  settlements  were  little  farming 
cr)nimunities,  and  the  houses  were  scattered  at  considerable 
distances  apart,  with  open  fields  and  bits  of  woodland 
between.  And  though  the  first  settlement  of  Brooklyn  had 
been  made  as  early  as  1636,  it  continued  in  the  condition  of 
a  rambling  village  as  late  as  1730,  in  the  time  of  Rip  Van 
Dam.  In  1660  its  population  numbered  only  13.1  persons, 
comprising  31  families.*  Land  was  measured  by  the  morgen, 
a  little  less  than  two  acres.  Money  was  scarce,  but  there 
wns  slight  need  of  it,  and  the  little  business  tran.sactions  of 
tlie  .settlers  were  carried  on  chiefly  by  barter  and  exchange 
of  produce.  Indian  beads  were  used  to  .some  extent  ff)r 
convenience  instead  of  coin.  Three  black  beads  and  .six 
white  ones  passed  current  for  a  penny. 

Old  Peter  Stuyvesant  was  then  the  reigning  Governor  of  the 
Colony  ;  and  that  far-off  period  of  its  infancy  is  represented 
to  us  as  a  .sort  of  Golden  Age,  when  the  air  of  the  New 
World  was  even  fresher,  purer,  and  freer  than  it  is  now,  the 
sun.shine  brighter,  and  the  sweet  tranquility  of  life  enjoyed 
in  a  blissful  elementary  fashion,  unencumljcred  by  the  arti- 
ficial complexities  of  our  modern  civilization.     Still  there

seems  to  have  hovered  in  the  otherwise  clear  sky  of  those 
halcyon  days  one  cloud,  ever  recurring  in  the  form  of  a 
dread  of  hostile  Indians.* 

The  language  of  Holland  was  of  course  the  prevailing 
tongue,  and  the  customs  of  Holland  were  in  the  ascendant. 
The  houses,  comfortable  and  spacious,  though  of  but  one 
story,  or  one  and  a  half,  including  the  attic,  were  built  chiefly 
of  wood,  sometimes  of  little  Dutch  bricks,  with  large  stone 
chimneJ^s  reaching  from  the  ground  floor.  They  had  high- 
ridged  but  lowly-sloping  thatched  roofs,  and  their  projecting 
caves  formed  a  sheltered  piazza  or  porch  along  the  entire 
front,  fitted  with  benches  for  sunnnerease.  Each  house  was 
surrounded  by  a  garden,  wherein  the  chief  vegetable  culti- 
vated was  the  cabbage  and  the  chief  flower  the  inevitable 
Dutch  tulip  ;  and  the  front  door  was  provided  with  a  huge 
brass  knocker,  burni.shed  dailj'. 

The  interior  of  these  simple  and  primitive  dwellings  was 
as  unpretentious  and  substantial  as  the  exterior.  Every- 
thing was  intended  for  use  rather  than  for  ornament.  The 
fire-place,  glazed  with  blue  Holland  tiles  illustrating  scenes 
from  the  Scriptures,  was  of  vast  proportions.  Carpets  were 
unknown  ;  but  the  wooden  floors  were  kept  immaculately 


*  "  To  prevent  incursions  of  Indians,  the  riovernor,  in  1660.  ordered  tiie  inbal>itnnls 
of  Brooklyn  to  i>nt  tlieir  town  in  a  state  of  defence,  and  also  coinniantled  the  farm- 
ers to  remove  within  llie  fortificatitnis  under  liie  penalty  of  foifeiling  their  estates. 
The  Dutch  colonists  seem  to  have  lived  in  almost  continued  a])prehension  of  the 
Iro<iuois.  (tn  the  26tli  of  June,  i66i,  (Governor  .Stiivvesant  informed  the  church  of

clean,  and  sprinkled  with  white  sea-sand,  swept  by  the 
skilful  touch  of  the  housewife's  broom  into  waves  and 
fanciful  figures.  The  tables,  high-backed  chairs,  and  other 
furniture  were  of  solid  mahogany,  but  of  plain  design.  The 
dishes  were  of  wood  and  pewter.  Silver  tankards,  mugs, 
porringers,  spoons,  snuffers,  and  candlesticks,  polished  to  a 
resplendent  brightness  by  the  proud  housewife,  were  dis- 
played on  a  long  sideboard  or  dresser.  The  hour-glass  or 
the  sun-dial  did  service  in  lieu  of  a  clock.  Spinning  wheels 
stood  in  the  corners  of  the  fire-place,  and  ears  of  corn,  strings 
of  dried  peaches  and  apples,  and  bunches  of  red  peppers 
hung  from  the  rafters  or  from  pegs  on  the  walls.  In  the 
best  room  stood  the  mountainous  bedstead,  its  curtains  and 
hangings  as  grand  and  impressive  as  its  owner  could  afford, 
and  underneath  was  the  little  trundle-bed,  withdrawn  at 
night  for  the  children.  Feather-beds  were  in  use  both 
summer  and  winter. 

Books  were  few,  chiefly  massive  volumes  of  the  Bible, 
Testament,  and  Psalms.  The  Bibles  were  quaint  specimens 
of  the  early  Dutch  printing  of  Antwerp  and  Amsterdam, 
bound  in  thick  wooden  covers,  braced  and  protected  with 
heavy  silver  clasps  and  corner-pieces.  The  Psalm-books 
were  likewise  armed  with  silver  clasps  and  edges,  and  were 
carried  to  church  by  matrons  and  maids,  attached  by  silver 
chains  to  their  girdles.

queue  of  eelskin.  The  women  frizzed  and  powdered  their 
hair,  wore  silken  hoods,  enormous  skirts  of  gorgeous  colors^ 
and  high-heeled  shoes.* 

Their  habits  were  regular  and  methodical.  We  are  told 
that  they  arose  every  day  at  cock-crowing,  breakfasted  at 
dawn,  dined  at  eleven  o'clock,  supped  at  five,  and  retired 
at  sunset.     Their  tables  were  plentifully  supplied  with  plain

into  many  curious  devices,  and  osteutatiously  worn  on  the  outside.  These,  in  fact, 
were  convenient  receptacles,  where  all  good  housewives  carefully  stowed  away  such 
things  as  they  wished  to  have  at  hand.  *  «  *  Besides  these  notable  pockets, 
they  likewise  wore  scissors  and  pincushions  suspended  from  their  girdles  by  rctl

not say  much  in  vindication  of  the  shortness  of  the  petticoats  ;  It  doubtless  was  in-

generally  of  blue  worsted,  with  magnificent  red  clocks— or  perhaps  to  display  a 
well-turned  ankle,  and  a  neat,  though  serviceable,  foot,  set  off  by  a  high-heeled

the  li^ss  admired  by  the  gentlemen  in  consequence  thereof.  On  the  contrary,  the 
greatness  of  a  lover's  passion  seemed  to  increase  in  proportion  to  the  tiiagnitude  of

Again  from  Irving:  "She  (Katrina  Van  Tassel)  was  a  blooming  lass  of  fresh 
eighteen;  plump  as  a  partridge  ;  ripe  and  melting  and  rosy-cheeked  ai  one  of  her 
father's  peaches.  »  *  *  She  wore  the  ornaraeuts  of  pure  yellow  gold  which  her

and  wholesome  food.  Chocolate  and  cider  were  the  connnon 
beverages,  especially  at  supper.  Coffee  and  tea  were  little 
used.  The  general  breakfast  of  rich  and  poor  was  ' '  .suppain  ' ' 
and  milk.  Tea-parties  and  family  festivals  were  frequent, 
and  Christmas  and  New  Year's  day  were  celebrated  with 
open-handed  hospitality.*  From  those  early  settlers  has 
been  handed  down  to  all  American  children  the  fascinating 
fiction  of  Santa  Claus,  and  from  them  we  have  inherited 
the  American  fashion  of  New  Year's  calls. 

The  institution  of  negro  slavery  added  another  element  of 
picturesquene.ss  to  the  life  of  the  Colony,  but  it  existed  only 
in  a  modified  form,  principally  for  household  service,  and 
there  was  little  distinction  in  the  character  of  work  performed 
by  the  black  slaves  and  by  the  older  children  of  the  settlers' 
families. 

A  large  proportion  of  the  early  families  were  inter-related  ; 
and,  isolated  in  a  new  country  and  thrown  largely  upon  their 
own  resources,  they  climg  together  closely  in  social  inter- 
course.    Sunday  was  devoted,  after  attendance  at  religious 


♦Two  travelling  I.abacUsts,  Jasper  Hankers  and  Peter  Sluyter.  who  visited  Long 
Island  in  1679.  have  left  on  record  this  description  of  a  dinner  at  the  home  of  their 
entertainer,  Simon  De  Hart,  atGownnus  :  "  We  had  for  snpper  a  roasted  hnnnch 
of  venison,  which  he  had  bought  of  the  Indians  for  three  guilaers  and  a  half  of  sec- 
want,  that  is,  fifteen  stuivers  of  Dutch  money  (fifteen  cents),  and  which  weighed 
thirty  pounds.  The  meat  was  exceedingly  lender  and  good,  and  also  quite  fat.  It 
had  a  slight  spicy  flavor.  We  were  a1.so  served  with  wild  turkey,  which  was  also 
fat  and  of  very  good  flavor  ;  and  a  wild  goose  that  was  rather  dry.  Hverything  we 
had  was  the  natural  production  of  the  country."— Ostrander's  "  Hrooklyn,"  i,  121. 

Irving  also  gives  us  this  comical  enumeration  of  the  delicacies  of  a  feast  at  an  old 
Dutch  farm-house,  typical  of  the  early  days  :  "  Huch  heaped-up  platters  of  cakes  of 
various  and  almost  indescribable  kinds,  known  only  to  experienced  Dutch  house- 
wives !  There  was  the  doughty  dough-nut,  the  tender  oly-koek,  and  the  crisp  and 
crumbling  cruller  ;  sweet  cakes  and  short  cakes,  ginger  cakes  and  honey  cakes,  and 
the  whole  family  of  cakes.  And  then  there  were  apple  pies,  and  pench  pies,  and 
pumpkin  pies;  be.sides  slices  of  ham  and  smoked  beef;  and  moreover  delectable 
dishes  of  preserved  plums,  and  peaches,  and  pears,  and  quinces ;  not  to  mention 
broiled  shad  and  roasted  chickens  ;  together  with  bowls  of  milk  and  cream,  all  min-

service,  to  the  interchange  of  family  visits.  Most  of  the 
settlers  adhered  to  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church,*  and  curi- 
ously, the  baptisms  of  children  in  single  families  are  found 
recorded  in  different  churches  of  that  persuasion  at  separate 
settlements,  not  far  apart,  on  western  Long  Island.  The 
reason  .seems  to  have  been  that,  the  small  congregations  at 
the  .several  .settlements  being  unable  alone  to  .support  a 
minister  at  first,  and  services  being  therefore  conducted  in 
rotation,  parents  in  one  village  often  availed  of  the  double 
opportunity  of  presenting  their  children  for  baptism  at  the 

*"  The  people  of  llic  Dutch  towns  professed  the  doctrines  inculcnted  by  the  Synod

the  classis  of  Anisterdnin  until  1772,  when  the  Dutch  Cluirch  of  this  country  estab- 
lished an  independent  classis  and  synods  on  the  model  of  the  Church  in  Holland. 
Kach  town  had  its  own  consistory,  but  the  whole  constituted  but  one  church." — 
Silas  Wood,  28. 

The  first  Dutch  church  erected  in  the  New  Netherlands  was  built  at  New  Am.ster- 
<lani  iu  1642.  The  first  one  built  in  Kings  County,  Long  Island,  was  at  Flatbush 
(Midwout),  begun  in  1654,  under  the  supervision  of  Domuiie  Johannes  Megapolen- 
sis,  pastor  in  New  Amsterdam,  assisted  by  the  people  of  nrooklyu,  (Iravesend,  and 
Hlatlaiuls  (Amersfort).  It  was  60  feet  in  length.  .^8  feet  in  breadth,  and  14  feet  iu 
height  below  the  beams.  The  first  pastor  of  this  joint  congregation  was  the  Rev. 
Johannes  Theodorus  Polhemus,  employed  at  a  salary  of  1,(540  guilders  a  year,  ancl 
his  custom  was  to  preach  on  Sundays  both  raoruiug  and  afternoon.  A  circuit  sys- 
tem of  preaching  was  adopted  in  1656,  whereby  the  pastor  conducted  .service  iu  the 
morning  at  Flatbush,  which  was  situated  about  equidistant  from  Urooklyn,  Grave- 
send,  aiKl  IMatlands,  and  iu  the  evening  alternately  at  Urooklyn  and  I'latlands.  In 
an  old  document  touching  this  circuit  system  it  is  stated  that  "  Urooklyn  is  (piite 
two  hours'  walking  from  .\tiiersfoort  and  Gravesend,  whereas  the  village  o(  Mid- 
wont  is  not  half  so  far,  and  the  road  much  better."  The  building  first  used  as  a 
house  of  worship  iu  Brooklyn  was  a  barn.  The  settlers  of  Brooklyn  secured  in  i66o 
a  pastor  of  their  own,  the  Rev.  Henricus  Selyus.  A  church  was  built  at  Flatlands 
iu  i(/],5,  and  one  at  Brooklyn  iu  1666.  A  church  was  built  also  at  Jamaica  iu  1662, 
and  replaceil  by  another  iii  1715. 

"At  this  early  period,  the  houses  of  public  worship  were  without  the  accommoda- 
tion of  bells,  and  iu  several  of  the  towns,  if  not  iu  all,  the  i)eoi)le  employed  a  person 
to  beat  a  drum  to  apprize  them  of  the  time  of  public  worship." — Silas  Woo<l,  32.

there  the  remainder  of  the  day  with  friends  and  relatives. 

The  Dutch  settlers  showed  remarkable  foresight  in  the 
early  establishment  of  eflScient  schools.*  In  fact  their  pru- 
dence in  all  the  affairs  of  life  is  proverbial,  likewise  their 
thrift  and  frugality  in  business  and  domestic  economy.  The 
women  were  remarkable  for  their  executive  ability  in  man- 
aging affairs,  and  their  housekeeping  was  perfect  in  its 
cleanliness  and  order.f  The  men  of  the  period,  it  must  be 
confessed,  .seem  to  have  been  addicted,  as  charged,  to  the 
excessive  smoking  habit  in  their  leisure  hours,  and  the  story 
of  their  pipes  is  an  amusing  bit  of  early  Knickerbocker 
lore.t 

In  the  second  and  third  generations  there  were  repeated 
swarmings  of  the  settlers'  hive  on  western  Long  Island  and 
Staten  Island.  Most  of  the  desirable  agricultural  lands  there 
having  been  taken  up,  the  new  generations  were  prompted 
to  look  elsewhere  for  eligible  sites  for  settlement ;  and  these 
they   readily   found  in   East  Jersey.  §    Among  the  rest,  a 


*  "The  Dutch  attitude  toward  education  was  in  niaiiy  respects  very  different  from 
that  which  prevailed  among  the  English.  At  the  time  of  the  settlement  of  New 
Hngland  and  New  Amsterdam,  Holland  was  i'ar  in  advance  of  other  European 
states  in  ideas  of  popular  education.  »  *  *  The  earliest  laws  of  the  colony  show 
that  for  the  support  of  schools  each  householder  and  inhabitant  shouhl  bear  such 
tax  and  public  charge  as  should  be  cousiderad  proper  for  their  maintenance." — Os- 
trandcr's  "  Brooklyn,"  i,  94. 

t"  In  those  good  days  of  simplicity  and  sunshine,  apa.s.sion  for  cleanliness  was  the 
leading  principle  in  domestic  economy,  and  the  universal  tistof  an  able  housewife — 
a  character  which  formed  the  utmost  ambition  of  our  unenlightened  grandmothers. 
*  *  *  The  whole  house  was  constantly  in  a  slate  of  inunctation,  under  the  disci- 
pline of  mops  and  brooms  and  .«crubbing-brushes  ;  and  the  good  housewives  of  those 
days  were  a  kind  of  amphibious  animal— in.somuch  that  a  historian  of  the  day 
gravely  tells  us.  that  many  of  hi,«^  townswomen  grew  to  have  webbed  fingers  like- 
unto  a  duck."— Irving's  "  Knickerbocker,"  nk.  Ill,  chap.  iii. 

J  "  The  pipe,  in  fact,  was  nev^-r  from  the  mouth  of  the  true  Nederlander.  It  was 
his  companion  in  .solitude,  the  relaxation  of  his  gayer  hours,  his  counsellor,  his  con- 
soler, his  jo^,  his  pride  ;  in  a  word,  he  seemed  to  think  and  breathe  through  his 
pipe."— Irvmg's  "  Knickerbocker,"  Bk.  IV,  chap.  vi.

number  of  Dorlands,  including  a  son  of  L,ambert  Janse, 
established  new  homes  in  the  neighborhood  of  New  Bruns- 
wick, along  the  Raritan  and  its  tributaries,  in  Somerset  and 
Middlesex  Counties,  N.J.  At  a  little  later  period  another  son 
of  lyAMBERT  Janse,  in  middle  age,  removed  with  his  family 
from  Staten  Island  to  eastern  Pennsylvania,  a  few  miles 
north  of  Philadelphia,  and  several  budding  scions  of  the 
Jan  GerretsE  branch  on  lyong  Island  reached  out  north- 
ward and  westward,  and  took  root  along  the  Hudson  River, 
notably  in  Orange  and  Dutchess  Counties,  N.  Y.  Wherever 
they  went  they  carried  with  them  old  Long  Island  heirlooms 
and  the  fragrant  memory  of  Long  Island  virtues. 

This  scattering  process,  incident  to  the  general  upbuilding 
of  the  American  Colonies,  continued  in  the  generations 
immediately  succeeding,  and  the  Borland  families  in- 
creased and  multiplied  in  all  the  localities  they  had  chosen. 
On  Long  Island  itself  the  families  put  forth  new  twigs  in 
new  places — Oyster  Bay,  Flushing,  Rockaway,  and  other 
points,  and  in  New  Jersey  fresh  offshoots  spread  over  Sussex, 
Hunterdon,  and  Morris  Counties  ;  while  the  Pennsylvania 
family,  though  grown  in  numbers  and  therefore  enlarged 
territorially,  remained  together  in  a  relatively  compact  nest. 

The  greater  proportion  of  the  Dorlands  in  all  these 
localities  were  naturally  planters  or  fanners — yeomen,  inde- 
pendent and  comfortable,  according  to  the  standards  and 
requirements  of  that  period.  Some  of  the  others  were 
merchants  and  millers,  and  the  remainder  were  principally 
craftsmen  and  mechanics  in  various  lines  of  activity. 

Descending  to  the  period  of  the  Revolution,  in  whose 
storm-centers  men's  souls  were  tried  to  the  utmost,  we  find

representatives  of  the  family,  descendants  of  Jan  Gi;kkktse, 
arrayed  on  either  side  in  New  York,  and  descendants  of  both 
Jan  Gickrktsk  and  Lambert  Jansk  aligned  on  the  Ameri- 
can side  in  New  Jersey  and  Peinisylvania. 

The  DoRL.'iND  patriots  were  not  numerous  in  New  Jersey  ; 
but  in  Pennsylvania  a  remarkably  large  proportion  of 
young  DoRLANDS  of  the  Philadelphia  County  coiniection 
enlisted  and  fought  in  the  patriot  ranks.  Five  grandsons 
of  LiAMRRRT  Janse,  there  settled  within  a  limited  area,  had 
in  the  aggregate  some  twelve  or  fifteen  sons  then  living,  of 
whom  nine  took  arms.  They  were  Presbyterians,  and  their 
community  lay  near  the  center  of  a  thrilling  theater  of  action, 
overrun  successively  by  battalions  of  British  and  Conti- 
nentals, and  in  close  communication  with  the  camps  of  both 
antagonists.  Tidings  of  the  stirring  victories  at  Trenton 
and  Princeton  reached  them  from  the  east ;  Brandywine, 
Germantown,  Whitemarsh,  and  Valley  Forge  were  distant 
but  a  few  miles  to  the  west  and  southwest ;  the  muster  of 
American  troops  progressed  within  earshot  at  Newtown,  on 
the  north  ;  and  fifteen  miles  south  lay  Philadelphia,  whose 
occupation  by  the  British  served  to  exasperate  the  children 
of  Penn  and  to  stimulate  still  further  the  patriot  zeal.  In 
such  an  environment  the  youth  of  that  region  necessarily 
took  one  side  or  the  other ;  and  though  the  allegiance 
of  other  families  was  doubtful  or  divided,  the  Dorlands 
without  exception  rallied  under  the  banner  of  American 
freedom. 

As  to  the  New  York  Dori,ands  and  intermarried  relatives, 
a  large  contingent  attested  their  loyalty  to  the  crown,  and  a 
fragment  of  them  bore  arms  in  the  British  ranks.  Some  of 
them  were  Quakers,  allied  to  families  of  English  blood,  and

olliors  were  staunch  adherents  ol  the  Church  of  England. 
The  Quakers  were  niaiuly  non-combatants,  and  confined 
their  manifestations  chiefly  to  sympathy  with  the  British  ; 
l)ut  the  Episcopalians  took  the  fieldj  In  all  the  trying  epochs 
since  the  Society  of  Friends  was  founded,  the  Quaker  prede- 
liction  for  peace  and  fidelity  to  the  existing  government,  of 
whatever  character,  has  been  well  illustrated,  and  this  obser- 
vation explains  the  attitude  of  the  Quaker  Dorlands^^^  The 
considerations  that  controlled  the  Episcopalians  are  equally 
obvious.  In  the  history  of  the  Established  Church  of  Eng- 
land no  duty  has  been  more  earnestly  inculcated  by  her 
clergy  than  that  of  submission  to  princes,  and  at  that  date 
the  attachment  of  her  followers  in  America  doubtless  indi- 
rectly influenced  their  conduct  with  respect  to  her  ally  and 
temporal  protector,  the  established  government.  In  addi- 
tion,ithe  Long  Island  and  Dutchess  County  settlers,)  being 
people  of  substance  and  property,  of  careful  nurture  and  con- 
servative temperament,  instinctively  held  to  the  old  order  of 
things,  and  were  disinclined  toward  radical  change  and  ex- 
periment. 

The  Province  of  New  York  contained  a  greater  number 
and  proportion  of  Loyalists  or  "Tories  "  than  any  other  of 
the  Thirteen  Colonies.  It  was  a  veritable  Loyalist  strong- 
hold, and  Queens  County  was  the  most  "  loyal  "  part  of  it. 
Dutchess  County  was  divided  in  .sentiment,  but  the  Loyalist- 
Quaker  element  there,  though  numerically  weaker,  was 
equally  firm.  Naturally  many  of  the  Dorlands  residing 
in  tho.se  localities  partook  of  the  dominant  sentiment  sur- 
rounding them  ;  and,  in  common  with  the  other  Loyalists 
of  their  communities,  they  underwent  the  trials  and  anxieties 
that  attend  all  such  catastrophes,   endured  the  customary

wrongs  at  the  hands  of  the  investing  armies,  and  at  the  close 
shared  the  fate  that  generally  awaits  the  followers  of  a  lost 
cause. 

The  Revolution  was  in  a  sense  much  more  of  a  civil  war 
than  is  now  realized,  and  at  the  outset  the  sentim.  .it  .i.  aome 
of  the  colonies  seems  to  have  been  pretty  evenly  balanced.* 
At  this  date  it  may  be  freely  admitted  that  both  sides  un- 
questionably conceived  themselves  to  be  in  the  right,  and 
were  actuated  by  a  sincere  and  pure-minded  desire  to  see  the 
right  prevail.  Both  Loyalists  and  Patriots  stood  on  sub- 
stantially the  same  footing,  as  against  the  tyranny  of  George 
III  and  the  oppression  of  his  ministers,  up  to  the  point  of 
the  Declaration  of  Independence.  Both  were  confessedly 
British  subjects,  bearing  allegiance  to  the  same  sovereign, 
constitution,  and  government,  and  both  avowed  their  claims 

*  A  few  extracts  culled  from  aiitliorities  on  tmth  sides  will  suffice  to  bear  out  this 
view : 

"  It  is  a  fond  fantasy  of  the  present  Keneration  that  every  man  of  the  Revolu- 
tionary era  not  stiKmnti/ed  as  'a  tory,'  was  an  ardent  adliercnt  of  the  revolting

This  was  emphatically  true  in  New  York,  where  it  is  prohiihly  true  that  more  than

to  all  the  rights  of  British  citizenship.  After  that  the  ways 
diverged.  The  Patriots  on  the  one  hand,  incensed  under  the 
intolerable  despoti.sm  of  the  King  and  aflame  with  a  divine 
ardor  for  liberty  and  .self-government,  pressed  forward  heroi- 
cally to  the  realization  of  their  ideal ;  and  on  the  other  hand 
the  Loyali.sts,  content  with  their  ancient  birthright  as  British 
subjects,  strove  tenaciously  to  retain  it,  and  with  it  the  Eng- 
lish supremacy,  doubting  not  that,  with  the  preservation  of 
unity  with  the  mother  country,  the  wrongs  of  which  both 
had  complained  would  be  redressed  and  the  best  interests  of 
the  colonies  and  the  crown  permanently  subserved. 

As  a  class  or  party  the  Loyalists  of  the  Revolution  have 
suffered  no  little  at  the  hands  of  historians,  and  there  is  a 
surprising  lack  of  information  about  them  even  in  well- 
informed  circles.  Their  vici.ssitudes  constitute  a  chapter  of

in  a  Continental  mode  of  war  instead  of  a  mode  adapted  to  the  peculiar  conditions 
existing  in  America.  No  Provincial  Loyalist  was  assigned  to  lead  any  cxi>editioij

not  actually  bearing  arms  sought  to  remain  at  home  and 
pursue  their  usual  avocations  in  peace.  But  by  many  this 
course  was  found  to  be  impracticable.  Long  Island  and  the 
contiguous  counties  were  unavoidably  harried  by  both  the 
American  and  British  Armies,  and  Loyalist  and  Patriot 
citizens  indiscriminately  were  deprived  of  their  substance  by 
tbe  alternate  ascendancy  of  opposite  parties.  But  from 
friends  and  foes  alike  the  Loyalists  alone  .seem  to  have  re- 
ceived hard  knocks  and  inconsiderate  treatment.  Those 
peaceably  inclined  who  aought  safety  within  the  British 
lines  were  doomed  to  exile  to  the  then  inhospitable  shores  of 
New  Brunswick  and  Nova  Scotia  or  to  the  untrodden  wilds 
of  Upper  Canada.  Indeed,  of  the  population  of  Queens 
County  alone,  fully  one-third  was  compelled  to  flee  to  Nova 
Scotia.  Several  of  the  Dorlands  whose  history  is  noted 
in  following  pages  were  among  the  refugee  families  who 
settled  in  Nova  Scotia  and  in  Upper  Canada.  From  and 
by  the  families  of  the  latter  settlers  has  been  built  up,  after 
severe  hardships  and  privations,  the  prosperous  Province  of 
Ontario.-''

These  settlements  were  promoted  by  the  humane  policy  of 
the  British  government  shortly  after  the  peace,  whereby 
measures  were  taken  to  reward  the  Loyalists  for  their  con- 
stancy, to  relieve  their  necessities,  and  to  provide  for  their 
future.  Liberal  grants  of  land  in  the  Canadian  Provinces 
were  made  to  the  Loyalist  families,*  half-pay  was  voted  to 
the  retired  officers  of  Provincial  regiments,  and  generous 
sums  in  cash  were  disbursed  to  those  who  had  been  impover- 
ished by  the  war  through  the  confiscation  or  destruction  of 
their  property.f    And  these  acts  of  material  bounty  were 


*'rhe  K>'o«ts  were  made  uix>ii  a  slicling-scale  according  to  rank,  n  field-officer 
receiving  5,000  acres,  a  captain  3,000,  a  subaltern  2,000,  and  a  private  soldier  200 
acres. 

t  In  iieRotiating  the  treaty  of  peace  at  Paris,  the  British  Commissioners  strouRly 
iirgcd  that  restitution  l>e  niiide  oy  America  to  the  I^oyalists  for  projierty  contiscated 
aw\  losses  incurred  during  the  war  ;  but  Henjaminl'ranklin,  who  was  one  of  the 
Americnn  Commissioners,  as  strongly  resisted  the  proposition.  The  dispute  was 
piolonged,  i\ud  at  one  stage  it  seeme<l  probable  that  the  peace  negotiations  would 
be  l>rokeu  off  on  this  account.  Finally  Franklin  declared  he  would  agree  to  allow 
the  Loyalist  losses  provided  another  account  was  opened  and  .set  against  them  for 
the  mischief  they  had  wrought,  property  de.stroyed,  slaves  carried  oflf,  houses 
lnirne<l.  etc.  He  demonstrated  that  Oreal  nritain  had  forfeite<l  the  right  to  press 
the  Loyalist  claims  by  her  own  conduct  and  example,  citing  the  orders  of  the 
Ilritish  Commanders  in  Carolina  to  confiscate  the  property  of  all  patriots.  There- 
upon the  Ilritish  Commissioners  gave  way.  It  was  agreed  by  the  American  Com- 
missioners, however,  that  while  restitution  could  not  l>e  promised,  further  confis- 
cation proceedings  in  the  .Slates  would  cease,  and  that  Congress  should  recommend 
to  the  .several  States,  on  l>ehalf  of  the  refugees,  amnesty  and  restitution.  Hut  they 
had  little  to  exjwct  from  the  stipulated  recommendations  of  Congress  in  their 
favor.  .S(,  of  the  States  whose  territory  had  been  occupied  longest  and  most 
recently  by  ^ne  Dritish  troops  were  even  inclined  to  enact  new  conti.scations  and 
impose  .still  more  .severe  sentences  of  banishment  and  punishment. 

Umler  these  ciicumstances  the  situation  of  the  Loyalists  became  the  subject  of 
passionate  debate  in  the  p;nglish  Parliament ;  and,  America  having  refused  to 
provide  for  their  compensatioii.  Parliament  assumed  the  responsibility  and  devised 
measures  of  relief  The  refugees  organized  and  sent  to  London  an  agency  to  press 
their  interests — one  agent  or  delegate  from  each  of  the  Colonies.  James  Delancey 
was  the  agent  for  the  Loyalists  of  New  York,  David  (Igden  for  tho.se  of  New 
Jersey,  and  Jo.seph  Galloway  for  those  of  Pennsylvania  and  Delaware.  In  June. 
I7\V  a  bill  was  introduced  in  Parliament  and  pa.s.sed  without  opimsition.  authorizing 
a  Hoard  of  Commissioners  to  inquire  into  the  1o.sses  and  services  of  the  Loyalists. 
The  Comiuission  iK'gnn  its  work  in  October,  and  the  time  in  which  claims  could  be 
presented  was  extended  by  several  renewal  acts  until  1789.  The  whole  matter  was 
linally  dispoiied  of  in  1790. 

The  Commission  divided  the  I^oyalists  into  six  classes :  1.  Tho.se  who  had 
rendered  service  to  Great  Britain.  2.  Those  who  had  borne  arms  for  Great  Britain. 
.1.  t:niform  and  zealous  Loyalissts.  4.  Loyal  English  subjects  resident  in  Great 
Britain.  5.  Loyalists  who  had  taken  oaths  to  the  American  States,  but  afterwards 
jnined  the  llriti.^b.  6.  Loyalists  who  had  iKirne  arms  for  the  American  States,  but 
Hftcrward  joined  the  British  Army  or  Navy. 

There  were  norlands  of  mo.st  of  these  cla.s.scri.  ICvery  applicant  was  rccpiired  to 
furui^li  proof  ttt  loyalty  and  of  every  si«'cies  of  loss.  u(mhi  oath.  l)firi\-s  in  Itif  dis- 
position of  claims  caused  much  dissatisfaction.     Favoritism  was  alleged,  and  the

supplemented  in  1789  by  Orders  in  Council  placing  "a  mark 
of  honor "  upon  the  families  who  had  "adhered  to  the 
Unity  of  the  Empire  and  joined  the  Royal  standard  in 
America  "  before  the  treaty  of  separation  ni  1783,  to  the  end 
that  their  posterity  might  be  discriminpted  f^^orably  among 
future  settlers  in  Canada.  A  list  of  m  -\\  !'<■  'fs  was  pre- 
pared ;  and  from  the  significant  woraa.  '  Onity  of  the 
Empire,"  it  was  styled  the  "  United  Empire  List,"  and  the 
names  of  those  borne  upon  it  were  distinguished  as  "  U.  E. 
Loyalists."* 

After  the  Revolution,  in  addition  to  the  compulsory 
emigration  of  Loyalist  Dori.ands  to  Upper  Canada  and 
Nova  Scotia,  several  fruitful  Long  Lsland  and  New  Jersey 
families,  not  Loyalists,  descended  from  Jan  GerrETSR,  also 
removed  to  Ontario,  Canada  ;  and  on  the  other  hand, 
some  of  the  Nova  Scotia  refugees  returned,  in  consequence 
of  the  repeal  of  the  harsh  laws  enacted  against  their  class.

York  and  sonthcaslern  Virginia. 

In  the  War  of  181 2  the  Doklands  were  again  concerned 
on  both  sides ;  Init  all  those  on  the  British  side  were 
of  the  Canadian  families,  and  the  far  greater  number  of 
D0KI.ANDS  engaged  were  on  the  American  side.* 

Subscqnontly,  with  the  opening  of  wide  areas  in  the 
middle  West,  a  large  number  of  Doklands  emigrated 
thither,  and  settled  in  various  parts  of  Ohio,  Indiana, 
Illinois,  Iowa,  Wisconsin,  Michigan,  and  Nebraska,  while 
others  removed  to  Kei  iicky,  northwestern  Virginia,  Mis- 
sissippi, Alabama,  Texas,  and  California, 

Once  more,  in  the  Civil  War,  the  Borland  family  di\'ided 
on  military  and  political  lines.  A  remarkably  large  number 
served  as  .soldier.;  of  the  Union  ;  an  insignificant  fraction 
only  was  identified  with  tlie  Southern  Confederacy. 

Since  the  Civil  War  there  has  been  a  still  more  extensive 
dispersion  of  eastern  Dorlands  throughout  the  middle  West 
and  far  West,  chiefly  in  Missouri,  Iowa,  Kansas,  Nebraska, 
Colorado,  Utah,  and  California.  Many  of  the  Canadian  fam- 
ilies also  have  moved  down  into  the  States,  notably  into 
Michigan,  Illinois,  New  York,  Massachusetts,  and  California, 
wliile  a  lew  have  gone  to  New  Brunswick,  and  many  hardy 
pioneers  have  pushed  into  the  Northwestern  Provinces  of 
Manitoba,  Assiniljoia,  and  British  Columbia. 

To-day  there  arc  Dorlands  located  in  almost  every  State 
and  Territory  of  the  Union  and  in  every  Province  of  the  Do-

million  of  Canada.  The  only  Status  and  Territories  where 
they  are  not  known  to  reside  are  New  Hampshire,  Rliode 
Island,  Tennessee,  Louisiana,  Arkansas,  New  Mexico,  Ne- 
vada, Montana,  Wyoming,  and  Alaska. 

The  military  history  of  the  Dokland  family  as  a  whole 
has  been  noteworthy.  In  the  Revolution  twenty-one  DoR- 
LANDS  are  known  to  have  participated  :  sixteen  on  the  Amer- 
ican side,  and  five  on  the  British  side.  In  the  War  of  1812 
thirteen  Dorlands  were  engaged  :  ten  on  the  American 
side,  and  three  on  the  British.  And  in  the  Civil  War  we 
have  record  of  over  fifty  Dorlands  who  served  under  the 
Stars  and  Stripes,  and  six  Dorlands  and  Borland  descend- 
ants who  served  under  the  Stars  and  Bars.  In  all  proba- 
bility there  were  also  many  others  of  the  family  of  whom 
record  has  not  been  found  ;  but  such  details  as  have  been 
obtained  are  set  forth  in  the  military  section  of  this  book. 
Most  of  them  were  private  soldiers  ;  l)ut  they  were  fighters, 
and  against  none  of  them  has  been  found  any  record  of  dis- 
honor, and  each  bore  his  part  faithfully  and  worthily 
throughout  his  service. 

Taking  a  brief  but  comprehensive  survey  of  the  Dorx.ands 
in  America,  including  Borland  descendants  by  female  lines, 
we  observe  that  they  have  engaged  in  nearly  all  the  honor- 
able avenues  of  activity  open  to  American  citizenship :  in 
the  learned  professions — the  ministry,  literature,  law,  medi- 
cine, and  instruction,  in  the  paths  of  state-craft,  in  the 
marts  of  trade,  and  in  productive  and  manufacturing  pur- 
suits. Although  the  great  majority  have  been  tillers  of  the 
soil — the  salt  of  the  earth,  yet  even  the  imperfect  canvass  of 
avocations  herein  attempted  reveals  twelve  clergymen — four

represented  in  the  latest  developments  of  art,  electricity, 
stenography,  trained-nursing,  stock-brokerage,  the  bicycle 
trade,  veterinary  surgery,  terrapin-farming,  oyster-canning, 
and  iron  production.  The  late  eminent  historian,  Bknson 
John  Lossing,  was  a  son  of  a  Doki..\nd  mother  of  the 
Quaker  branch.  Two  Dori.ands,  of  different  branches, 
were  pioneers  among  the  " '49-ers  "  in  the  California  gold 
fields.  A  Borland  daughter  of  a  New  Jersey  branch  was 
the  wife  of  a  medical  missionary  who  died  of  cholera  recently 
at  Petchaburee,  in  Siam.  A  Borland  descendant  is  in  com- 
mand of  the  Royal  Canadian  Artillery  in  the  Citadel  of  Que- 
bec, and  his  son  is  an  officer  in  the  British  Army  in  India. 
Another  Borland  descendant.  Ensign  Wilprid  V.  Powkl- 
soN,  rendered  invaluable  service  recently  in  determining  the 
origin  of  the  explosion  that  destroyed  the  United  States  Bat- 
tleship Maine  in  Havana  harbor,  and  still  another  is  serving 
on  the  United  States  Battleship  Indiana  in  the  War  against 
Spain,  and  participated  in  the  late  brilliant  naval  actions  in 
West  Indian  waters.

PRELUDE  SKETCH. 

JAN  GERRETSE  DORLANDT  was  the  first  Borland 
immigrant  to  this  countrj-  of  whom  we  have  certain 
record,  and  the  progenitor  of  the  larger  branch  of  the  family 
in  America. 

He  came  to  the  New  Netherlands  from  Holland  in  1652. 
No  passenger  lists  are  extant  of  Dutch  vessels  arriving  at 
the  port  of  New  Atnsterdam  in  that  year,  but  fortunately 
the  fact  is  determined  with  sufBcient  precision  by  other 
means.  In  the  latter  part  of  September,  1687,  after  the 
English  had  wrested  the  New  Netherlands  from  the  Dutch, 
the  Dutch  inhabitants  were  requi,  .d  to  take  an  oath  of 
allegiance  to  the  English  crown  ;  a  id  in  receiving  this  oath, 
the  administering  officer  in  each  case  took  the  pains  to  note, 
doubtless  in  accordance  with  instructions,  whether  the  citizen 
was  native-born  or  an  immigrant,  and  if  an  immigrant,  the 
number  of  years  of  his  residence  in  America.  In  the  li.st  of 
those  who  took  the  oath  in  the  village  of  Brooklyn  appears 

35 


36  The  Dorland  Family. 

the  name  of  this  ancestor  as  "Jan  gerrisr  dorland," 
and  to  his  name  is  appended  the  remark,  "  35  Jeare  "  (35 
years).*  Thus  by  subtracting  from  1687  thirty-five  years, 
the  year  of  his  arrival  is  ascertained — 1652. 

An  inferential  tradition  is  that  he  was  a  young  man  when 
he  came  to  try  his  fortunes  in  the  New  World.  Lacking 
definite  information,  we  may  surmise  that  he  was,  say, 
twenty-three  or  twenty-five  years  of  age  ;  and  from  this  we 
may  set  c.own  the  year  of  his  birth  as  approximately  1625 
or  1627.  We  know  that  he  was  still  living  as  late  as  1711, 
so  that  we  may  be  assured  that  he  attained  the  ripe  old  age 
of  at  least  eighty-four  years. 

His  career,  as  we  may  judge  from  the  fragmentary  records 
that  have  come  down  to  us,  was  in  every  way  creditable. 
He  seems  without  doubt  to  have  been  an  industrious,  ener- 
getic, intelligent,  enterprising,  and  just  man,  and  to  have 
borne  an  active  part  in  the  development  of  the  community 
in  which  he  had  cast  his  lot. 

In  Brooklyn  he  settled  first  near  Fulton  Street  Ferry,  and 
later  in  the  village  of  Bedford,  in  Brooklyn  township.t  We 
find  him  located  there  in  1657. |     His  farm  or  "bowery,"

Cornelis  Jacohsen.  Wendrick  Sweers,  Michael  Hans  and  Jan  Hans' Mermen  asked 
the  Director  for  a  grant  of  nnticcnpied  woodlaiul  situate  in  the  rearof  Joris  Kapalje, 
next  to  the  old  Bay  Road.  The  Director  made  the  grant,  stipulating  that  the  peti- 
tioners shtaild  not  niake  a  "  new  hamlet."  The  little  settlement  thus  formed  was 
adjacent  on  the  south  to  another  known  as  Cripjileltnsh.  aiicl  Lay  at  the  intersection 
of  the  Jamaica  highway,  tl-.e  Clove  Road  running  to  I'lnllmsh,  and  the  Cripple-

In  1675  his  name  appears  on  the  asessment  rolls  of  Brook-

Van  Nuyse  meadow-lot  number  18  in  Flatbush.J  His 
property  in  1683  is  thus  described  in  the  assessment  taken 
on  September  26  of  that  year — "  Valuation  of  Breuckelen  "  :

He  continued  to  serve  as  Commissioner  until  at  least  1701, 
and  possibly  later.  These  Commissioners  were  among  the 
most  important  and  prominent  men  in  the  community.  The 
proper  performance  of  their  duties  required  integrity  of 
character,  a  knowledge  of  affairs,  sound  judgment,  and  no 
little  executive  ability.  It  is  therefore  gratifying  to  know 
that  Jan  Gerretsb  Dori<andt  was  chosen  and  continued 
so  long  by  his  fellow-citizens  in  his  responsible  position.* 

Gradually  the  functions  of  these  Commissioners  were  en- 
larged, and  in  1699  their  designation  was  changed  to  "  town- 
men,"  in  recognition  of  their  extensive  powers  and  general 
utility.  Instead  of  confining  their  attention  merely  to 
running  property  lines,  dividing  the  common  lands,  and 
laying  out  lots,  streets,  and  roads,  they  became  also  the 
local  law-makers   and   guardians  of   the   law,    levied   and

exercised  a  general  supervision  over  the  interests  of  the 
town.-'^ 

In  the  same  year,  1699,  Jan  Gerrktse  Dorlandt 
performed  the  duties  of  Collector  of  Brooklyn,  probably  in 
connection  with  his  other  duties  as  a  towns-man. f 

About  the  year  1698  a  census  was  taken,  resulting  in  the 
compilation  of  a  "list  of  all  the  freeholders  their  wives 
children  apprentices  and  slaves  within  the  Kings  County  on 
Nassauw  Island";  and  therein,  under  "the  town  of 
Brookland",  occurs  tliis  entry  :

The  tradition  is  that  he  was  unmarried,  as  well  as  young, 
when  he  came  to  America.  §  We  have  no  information  as  to 
his  first  marriage  or  as  to  his  first  wife.  But  we  know  that 
one  of  his  sous,  probably  the  eldest,  was  born  in  1655,  and 
from  this  we  may  infer  that  he  took  unto  himself  a  wife 
within   a   year  or  two  after  his  arrival  on  American  soil.

From  this  first  marriage  sprang  at  least  five  children,  whose 
careers  we  are  able  partially  to  trace. 

His  first  wife  seems  to  have  died  in  the  interval  between 
1663  and  1666  ;  and  about  the  year  1667  he  married  Anna 
Remsen,  daughter  of  Rem  Jansen  Vanderbeeck*  and  Jannetje 
Rapalie.t  By  this  second  marriage  he  had  at  least  five 
additional  children,  and  several  of  these  were  baptized  in

tBorn  Aug.  iS,  1629,  at  New  Amsterdam.  Her  father,  Joris  Jansen  de  Rapalie, 
and  her  mother.  Catalyn  Tiico.  dau.  of  Jeremiah  Trico,  of  Paris,  were  among  the 
Walloon  emigrants  who  came  over  with  Minnit  in  162J.  They  lived  first  at  Hort 
Orange  (AlbanyJ.  aiul  in  i6jf)  removed  to  New  Amstenlam.  where  they  remained 
many  years.  Her  father  kepi  an  inn  there  part  of  the  time,  and  was* one  of  the 
"Twelve  Men"  chosen  by  the  people  of  the  New  Netherlands  in  1641  to  devise 
measures  of  defense  against  the  Indians.  The  family  lived  on  the  north  side  of 
the  river  road,  now  Pearl  slrcel.  and  on  the  .south  .side'of  the  old  Fort.  This  situa- 
tion gave  greater  protection  from  the  as.sauUs  of  the  .savages.  AIhiuI  i6.s.i  Joris 
began  living  upon  .some  land  which  he  bad  bought  on  June  ifi,  i'S37,  the  tran.saetion 
being  considered  the  second  purchase  of  Land  within  the  present  limitsof  lirooklyn. 
The  tract  com])riscd  1^17  inorgens  (,^.35  acres)  and  part  of  it  is  now  used  as  the 
grounds  of  the  Marine  Hospital.  Joris  became  a  magistrate  in  Urooklyu  in  1655 
and  served  until  his  death,  about  i(V>,s. 

Concerning  Jannetje  Rapalie,  it  is  .said  that  as  a  child  she  was  taken  acro.ss  from 
Governor's  Island  to  IJrooklyn  by  an  Indian  in  a  tub.  She  had  10  brothers  and  sisters. 
The  eldest  of  the.se,  Sara,  b.  while  her  i)arents  lived  at  Fort  Orange,  has  been  accorded 
unique  distinction  as  the  first  white  female  child  born  in  the  New  Netherlands. 
Sara  m.  twice,  the  first  time  wtiile  still  under  15  years  cjf  age.  One  of  Long  IslaUil's 
historians.  Stiles,  remarks  of  lier  :  "While  .-Vlbany  claims  the  honor  of  being  her 
birthplace,  and  New  Amsterdam  of  having  seen  her  childhood,  lirooklyn  .surely 
received  the  most  profit  from  her  ;  for  liere  in  the  Wallalxnit  *  *  *  'she  gave 
birth  to  14  children,  from  whom  arc  descended  the  Polhemuses,  the  Bergens,  the

early  as  1677,  and  probably  earlier,  and  he  was  an  elder  in 
1711.* 

It  is  evident  that  he  took  pains  to  see  that  his  children  i 
received  a  careful  education,  for  all  those  of  whom  we  have  I 
record  in  mature  years  were  able  to  read  and  write.     Unusual 
facilities  of  education  were  afforded  in  the  neighborhood  of 
Brooklyn  at  that  early  period.f 

His  exact  burial  place  is  not  known  ;  but  this  is  not  sur- 
prising when  it  is  realized  that  tombstones  were  not  used 
among  the  early  Dutch  settlers,  and  that  interments  were 
made  in  family  and  private  grounds,  where  the  graves  were 
marked  simply  with  field-stones,  significant  enough  to  con- 
temporaneous kindred,  but  not  to  late  posterity.  It  is  sup- 
posed that  hi?  grave  is  somewhere  either  in  the  old  Dutch

mile  from  the  old  Kultoii  Ferry  and  opposite  the  Dutch  Churcli-yard  on  tile  s.  e. 
side  of  the  street. 

"It  was  a  square  edifice  with  very  thick  walls,  and  small  hi^h  windows,  filled 
with  stained  glass,  representing  i.ir.Q'e  flower-i)ots  at  the  hasc  of  the  windows,  from 
which  ran  up  through  the  panes,  to  the  t(jp  ot  the  windows,  numerous  vines  laden 
with  a  pi'ofusion  of  brilliant  flowers  of  every  imaginable  hue.  On  the  top  of  the 
church  \vas  a  short,  ojien  stccole.  in  which  hunga  small  bell  brouglit  from  IloUand, 
as  was  also  the  \vindow  glass.  The  inside  of  the  church  was  paueled  to  a  great 
height,  and  that  work,  together  with  the  jiews  and  pulpit,  were  of  oak,  and  were

is  stated  authoritatively  that  he  made  his  "  mark  "  to  docu-

(a)  GERRET  GERRETSE  DORLANDT. 

(a)  GKRkKT  GkrrETSE  Dorlandt,  born  1655,  at  Brooklyn;  died 
after  1741  ;  married  first,  May  25,  1682,  Cornkua  DK  Bkauvoisk, 
who  was  baptized  Mar.  3,  1659,  at  New  Amsterdam,  and  died 
1682-3  ;*  married  second,  1684-5,  Gertrude  Aukes  Van  Nuys. 

It  is  regretted  that  so  little  is  known  of  this  founder  of  a 
strong  branch  of  the  family.  But  from  fragments  of  informa- 
tion derived  from  various  sources  we  can  form  at  least  some 
idea  of  him  and  his  surroundings. 

In  the  year  1741  he  appeared  as  a  witness  in  a  lawsuit  at 
Brooklyn,  brought  by  one  Frederick  Lubbertse  against 
George  Bergen  and  Israel  Horsford,  respecting  the  boundary 
line  between  two  farms  in  the  vicinity  of  Brooklyn  ;  and  in  his 
testimony  he  stated  incidentally  that  he  was  then  eighty-six 
years  old  ;  that  he  was  born  "  near  the  Ferry  "  (now  Fulton 
Ferry),  in  Brooklyn  ;  that  he  resided  in  Brooklyn,  and  that 
he  was  familiar  with  all  the  lines  of  the  property  in  dispute. 
It  is  stated  that  he  described  the  corners  and  lines  minutely 
and  with  singular  clearness,  and  proved  to  be  the  most 
important  witness  in  the  case. 

From  this  statement  of  his  age  in  1741,  the  year  of  his 
birth  is  readily  deducible ;  but  in  the  absence  of  exact  infor- 
mation as  to  the  date  of  his  death  we  must  content  ourselves 


*Dati.  of  Cnrel  de  Beaiivoise,  wlio  came  from  I^eyden,  In  South  Holland, 
Feb.  17.  ifistj,  with  his  wife,  .Sophia  Van  lyodensteyn,  and  tliree  ch.  Carel  was  a 
French  Protestant.  He  res.  for  a  short  time  at  New  Amsterdam,  and  in  1661  was 
made  choirmaster,  rejuler  and  .schoolmaster  for  the  people  of  lirooklvn,  at  a  .salary 
of  is  snildersand  free  house-rent  (see  footnote  on  p.  41 ).  He  had  four  ch.— three 
1>.  in  I.eyden,  and  Cok.nf.lia,  b.  shortly  after  his  arrival  in  America,  at  New 
Am.stenlam.—.See  llerKen's  "  Early  Settlers,"  S.s.

with  the  fact  that  he  must  have  died  after  1741,  or  at  least 
after  giving  his  testimony  in  the  lawsuit  in  that  year. 

From  the  records  of  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church  of  Brook- 
lyn we  learn  that  lie  resided  at  the  "  Wale-Bocht  "  (Wall- 
about)  and  was  a  member  and  communicant  of  the  church 
in  the  period  Ijetween  1677  and  1687,  and  that  his  wife  was 
also  a  member  and  communicant.  Doubtless  this  record  as 
to  his  wife  refers  to  each  of  his  two  wives,  respectively,  in 
turn. 

In  September,  1687,  he  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  to  the 
British  government.  In  the  list  of  those  who  took  the 
oath,  preserved  in  the  New  York  State  library  at  Albany, 
his  name  is  set  down  as  "  GERRiT  Dorlant  native,"  under 
the  heading,  ' '  off  fflackbush . "  * 

From  lyiber  I  of  Conveyances  (Brooklyn),  page  160,  we 
learn  that  on  March  22,  1688-9,  ^^  bought  two  lots  of  thirty 
acres  each  in  the  "  New  Lotts"  of  Flatbush,  on  the  Third 
Kill,  of  Mrs.  Mary,  widow  of  Claes  Jacobse  Larzelere,  or  La 
Resielere  ;  and  from  another  land  record  that  on  June  5, 
1689,  he  mortgaged  these  same  lots  for  ^^160  to  Pietcr  Jacobse 
Marius,  of  New  York.f 

He  and  some  of  his  family  are  included  in  the  census  of 
Kings  County,  taken  about  the  year  i6g8,  as  residing  in 
' '  the  town  off  fflackbush. ' '  The  entry  is  set  down  thus,  under 
the  head,  "A  list  of  all  the  freeholders  their  wives  children 
apprentices  and  slaves  within  the  Kings  county  on  Nassauw 
Island": 

"  Gerret  DorlandT  .  .  .  Men.  i-      .  Wo.  i  .  .  Chi.  4."!

From  these  records  it  appears  that  he  was  then  living  at 
Flatbush.  At  a  later  period  we  gather  that  he  removed  to 
Gravesend,  for  in  "A  list  of  all  the  Inhabitants  off  the 
township  oflF  Gravesend,  both  off  whites  and  blacks,  males 
and  females,"  made  up  in  March,  1738,  appears  this  entry, 
preceded  by  the  heading,  "  The  names  off  the  master  off  the 
house  or  mistresses,  &c."  : 

"  Garret  DoRtAND.Whites  males  above  10  years    .  i 

Whites  females  above  10  years  .  2."* 

From  his  evidence  in  the  lawsuit  above  referred  to,  three 
years  later,  it  appears  he  had  removed  from  Gravesend  to 
Brooklyn.  It  further  appears  from  the  extracts  quoted,  that 
in  1698  his  family  consisted  of  six  persons,  and  in  1738  of 
only  three.  We  know  of  hi j  having  six  children,  the  eldest 
baptized  in  1685,  and  the  next  born  about  1686  ;  and  we  may 
legitimately  infer  that  in  1698  one  or  two  of  the  older  chil- 
dren had  left  the  parental  roof  to  found  homes  of  their  own, 
and  that  in  1738  probably  all  had  done  so,  except  perhaps 
his  daughters  Hermina  and  Anna.  It  seems  that  all  his 
children,  with  perhaps  the  exception  of  the  first  child,  were 
by  his  second  wife,  Gertrude  Aukes  Van  Nuys. 

A  large  number  of  his  descendants  now  reside  in  Orange 
County,  N.  Y.,  in  Luzerne  County,  Pa.,  in  Nebraska,  Kansas, 
and  Massachusetts,  and  in  the  Canadian  Provinces  of  Nova 
Scotia  and  New  Brunswick.

(b)  RrjAS  DOKLANDT.  Horn  aljout  1636;  liied  1692;  married,  about 
16S0,  Mrs.  Miriam  WmiAMS,  widow,  who  was  born  about 
1647.* 

The  exact  date  of  his  birth  is  not  known,  but  it  is  believed 
that  he  was  younjjer  than  his  brother  Gerrrt  Gerretse, 
and  that,  like  him,  he  was  born  in  the  village  of  Brooklyn, 
probably  near  the  old  Fulton  Ferry.  He  died  a  conipar- 
ativelj'  young  man,  but  he  founded,  nevertheless,  by  far  the 
largest  branch  of  the  family. 

He  was  a  miller  and  farmer,  and  posse.ssed  considerable 
substance  in  Hempstead  Town  (equivalent  to  Township), 
Queens  Countj',  Long  Island,  where  he  settled  early.  The 
first  mention  of  him  in  Hempstead  occurs  in  the  record  of  the 
transactions  of  a  Town  Meeting  held  Nov.  i,  1676,  where  it 
is  stated  that  three  acres  of  land  were  granted  to  him.f 
The  deed  records  of  Queens  County  show  that  two  years 
later,  on  Nov.  24,  1678,  he  purchased  of  Peter  John.son  Scoll 
a  "  house  and  home  lott,"  indicating  that  he  had  become  a 
permanent  settler.     A  year  and  a  half  later  he  obtained  a

successive  teuerations  of  her  female  ilescendants.  The  name  I'earsall  has  been

That  he  was  careful  and  methodical,  as  well  as  shrewd 
and  vigorous  in  looking  after  his  business  matters,  is  evident 
from  a  quaint  memorandum  of  his  success  in  recovering  at 
once  a  debt  due  himself  and  a  debt  due  his  wife  on  account 
of  her  first  husband,  thus  written  by  the  clerk  of  the  Town 
Court : 

"  1682,  August  2. — EiJAS  Borland  enters  an  action  of 
debt  against  John  Marshall's  estate.  Adam  Mott  says 
Marshall  was  28s.  in  my  debt,  and  I  assigned  it  to  Dor- 
land.  Peter  Johnson  vSchol  saj's :  Being  at  Setauket  I 
demanded  of  Marshall  a  debt  he  owed  Borland,  and  he 
owned  it  and  said  he  would  be  here  in  a  short  time  and 
satisfy  it.  Miriam  Borland  says,  concerning  a  debt  due 
her  first  husband,  John  Williams,  from  Marshall,  that  she 
heard  her  husband  say  that  he  and  Marshall  had  reckoned, 
and  28s.  was  due.  Thomas  Ellison  says,  being  at  work 
with  Marshall  I  heard  him  say  he  owed  Williams.  The 
Court  award  56s.,  which  happen  to  be  his  due.  A  chest, 
two  or  three  poiuids  of  yarn,  .some  slays  and  liarness  of 
Marshall  being  attached  by  Borland,  were  prised  by  John 
Pine  and  Adam  Mott,  Jr.,  at  ^2-17." 

He  seems  to  have  operated  a  mill  about  this  time  ;t  and

account  of  ye  Vallvation  of  the  Estates  of  Thee  Inhabbitants 
of  ye  towne  of  Hampsted  on  Long  Island,"  dated  Oct.  ii, 
1683,  whence  we  learn  that  his  taxable  property,  real  and 
personal,  consisted  of  "22  acres  of  land,  4  oxen,  8  cowes, 
6  three  year  oulds,  3  two  year  oulds,  4  year  oulds,  2  hoggs, 
20  sheep,  2  horses  and  majors."* 

Again,  from  the  invaluable  records  of  the  Town  Meeting, 
Nov.  23,  1684,  in  an  entry  signed  by  "  Josias  Star,  Clark," 
we  learn  that  ' '  it  was  concluded  by  the  mager  vote  that 
Elias  Borland  should  have  his  hundred  acres  of  land  upon 
the  right  of  that  was  Scadius," — making  to  that  date  153 
acres  jrranted  him  from  the  public  tracts  in  Hempstead. 
The  town  books  show,  however,  t}iat  in  1685,  when  the 
taxable  inhabitants  of  Hempstead  numbered  160,  he  was 
assessed  for  only  100  acres — probably  the  last  named  grant.f 

In  1686  we  find  him  chosen  as  a  witness  to  go  to  the 
Court  of  Assizes  at  Jamaica  to  defend  the  town's  title  in 
Rockaway.l  Early  in  the  next  year  he  evidently  contem- 
plated the  establishment  of  another  mill,  for  in  the  record  we 
read  : 

"  Att  a  towne  meeting  held  in  Hempstead  ye  25  day  of 
Janewary,  1687,  Elias  Borland  had  liberty  of  a  stream 
granted  him  to  set  a  mill  on  and  five  acres  of  land  by  it

The  reference  to  "  cousin  Cahkit  "  as  cue  of  the  overseers  furnishes  strong  con-

HKRT  J  ANSI-:  DORLANiiT.  So  far  as  known,  there  were  but  two  Okrret  Dorlaniits 
of  adult  age  on  Long  Island  at  that  date— GerketOerrktse.  brother  of  Eli  as,  and 
GerhktJanse,  cousin.  Gehret  Janse  was  then  alHuit  j6  years  old.  The  middle 
names  of'^lKjth  Gekhets  were  often  dropjwd.  They  do  not  apiwar  in  the  record  of 
oaths  of  allegiance  in  16S7.  Gerret  Gerretsk,  who  took  the  oath  at  Flatbush, 
isset  down  by  the  enumerator  as  simply  "gerrit  Dorlant  native,"  and  Gerrit 
JANBE.  who  took  the  oath  at  Hrooklyn,  is  .set  down  likewise  as  "cerrit  Dorlant 
native." 

Cornelius  Ilaruson,  the  other  overseer,  had  several  land  trau.sactions  with  Klias. 

Nathaniel  Pearsall,  one  of  the  witnesses,  was  a  brother  of  Miriam,  Blias's  wife. 
He  was  chosen  in  ifigi  as  one  of  the  Representatives  of  Queens  Co.  in  the  Colonial 
Assemblv,  but  scrupled  to  take  the  prescribed  oath  because  he  was  a  Quaker,  and 
was  denfed  adini.ssion.

Benjamin  also  signed,  with  .s  other  Dorlands.  among  a  larffe  nnmlier  of 
other  substantial  citizens  of  yiieens,  the  remarkable  document  here  sulijoined, 
printed  on  pp.  2i5-i'<of  the  same  volume.  Its  lanKuaKe  conveys  a  vivid  .sugKestion 
of  the  pressure  and  stress  to  which  those  people  were  .subjected,  when  they  were 
nimvoidably  placed  between  two  fires  and  forced  unwillingly  to  take  siiles  in  the 
civil  conflict  of  the  Revolution.  Reading  Iwtween  the  lines,  it  is  not  difficult  to 
fancy  the  club  that  must  have  whirletl  threateningly  over  their  heads. 

"  Whereas,  we  the  .subscribers,  iuhabitantsof  yueens  county,  on  Long  Island,  in 
the  Province  of  New  York,  have  given  great  uneasiness  to  the  goo<i  i)eople  of  the 
ncightioring  Provinces  and  the  Continent  in  general,  by  our  not  chossing  a  com- 
mitte  agreeable  to  the  orders  of  the  Continental  Congres.s,  by  our  not  jKiying  that 
attention  to  the  directions  of  our  Provincial  Congress,  which  we  ought  to  have  done, 
and  by  our  opposing  the  General  Instructions  of  the  Continental  Congress  in 
almost  all  our  ctnidnct  and  actions.  Therefore,  (in  order  to  relieve  the  minds  of 
the  virtuous  inhabitants  of  .America,  and  those  of  this  Country  in  particular, 
engaged  in  the  common  cause. )  we.  the  subscril>ers,  do  most  solemnly  aiin  sincerely 
promise,  that  we  will,  hereafter,  in  all  cases,  implicitly  olwy  all  orders  and  instruc- 
tions enjoined  on  us  Tiv  our  Provincial  and  Continental  Congresses, — that  we  will 
act  in  conjunction  with  the  iuhabitantsof  tliis  and  the  Neignl>oring  Provinces,  in 
the  advance  of  American  lit)erty,— that  we  never  will  take  up  arms  against  the 
Americans,— and  that  we  will  nAt,  directly  or  indirectly,  countenance,  aid,  assist, 
or  by  any  means  join  with,  any  of  his  Majesty's  troops  in  the  present  contest 
Iwtween  Great  Bnlaiu  and  America.  Cjiven  under  our  hands  this  19th  day  of 
January,  1776."  The  ,5  other  Dorlands  and  kinsmen  who  signed  were  :  Klias 
DoRLiN  (KLIAS,  JR.)  :  Joseph  Dorlan  (son  of  John,  jr.)  ;  Benj  Dvlin  (Dorlon,

(of  Jamaica);  Michael  Demott  (husliand  of  Miriam  Dorland,  dan.  of  John); 
and  Johannes  Snrueker  (huslrandof  Auriantje  Dorland,  Jamaica). 

Benjamin  and  many  kinsmen  in  Queens  Co.  also  .signed,  Oct.  21,  1775,  an 
address  "  To  the  Right  Honorable  Richard,  l,ord  Viscount  Howe,  of  the  Kingdom 
of  Ireland,  and  to  His  K.\cellency,  the  Honorable  William  Howe,  Ksquire,  General 
of  His  M.ijesty's  forces  in  America,  the  King's  Commi.ssioners  for  restoring  peace 
to  His  Majesty's  Colonies  in  North  America."  entitled  "  The  humble  Representa- 
tion and  Petition  of  the  Freeholders  and  Inhabitants  of  Queens  County  on  the 
Island  of  Nassau  in  the  Province  of  New- York."  expressing  loyalty  to  the  British 
crown  and  invoking  its  protection.  At  that  time  the  British  soldiery  were  in  com- 
plete i)os.session  of  the  Co.  The  leading  Whigs  had  lieen  thrown  into  prison,  and 
the  projierty  of  those  who  had  fled  had  l>ceu  .seized,  Tho.se  that  remained  were 
constrainecf  to  join  in  the  iietition  that  the  Co.  might  lie  restored  to  royal  favor.

(b2)  JOHN  DORLAND,  b.  2-9-1686,  in  Hempstead;  d.  3-31- 
1780;  m.  1715,  Mary  Bkdei,!,,  b.  6-21-1699;  d.  5-17- 
1749.      Farmer   and   stock-raiser.      Res.,    in    Hempstead.* 

*  Many  interesting  traces  of  him  are  found  ir  the  town  records  of  Hempstead. 
The  first  reference  to  him  is  this  ; 

"1734,  April  7.— John  Tredwell,  Thomas  Carman  and  John  Dorland  chosen  to 
prefix  a  day  for  drawing  olT  our  sheep  from  thr.  plains  in  the  fall  of  the  year," — 
tib.  D,  360. 

On  Apr.  5,  1726  and  Apr.  4,  1717,  he  was  r'.iosen  at  the  town  meeting  as  an  as.sessor 
(I,ib.  D,  368,  374).  The  pastoral  interests  of  the  community  in  his  day  and  his  con- 
nection therewith  are  suggested  by  these  entries  from  the  town  records  : 

"  1732,  Oct.  18. — It  was  voted  and  strongly  forbidden  that  no  person  should  drive 
any  sheep  or  cattle  to  fold  them  anywhere,  either  day  or  night.  We  also  pray  the 
assembly  to  make  an  Act  to  establish  this  vote,  and  that  no  horses,  nor  mares,  nor 
horse  kind  should  run  at  liberty  on  the  Plains.  Peter  Smith,  John  Dorland, 
Thomas  Williams,  Silas  Smith,  Sphriam  Valentine,  John  and  Samuel  Dusenboro 
protest  against  the  vote  about  sheep ;  and  Danuel  Pine  and  Isaac  German  protest 
against  the  vote  about  horses." — I.ib.  D.,  393. 

"  1738,  April  25.— Voted  tb-\t  Jonathan  Rowland  and  John  Dorland  take  the 
sheep  left  m  the  pens  after  drawing  on  the  appointed  day,  and  keep  them  till  next 
spring,  and  take  their  coats  for  their  wintering,  and  mark  the  lambs  by  their 
mother's  mark  and  turn  them  into  the  general  sheep-pa.sture."— I<ib.  E,  41. 

He  was  a  vestryman  and  warden  of  St,  George's  Ch.,  at  Hempstead  village,  from 
1736  to  1743  inclusive.  His  interest  in  the  ch.  and  its  property  did  not  ceane  with  his 
service  as  vestryman,  as  is  shown  by  these  two  extracts  : 

"  1742,  Decemoer  27.— At  a  town  meeting,  by  major  vote,  Jeremiah  Bedell,  John 
Hall  and  John  Dorland  were  appointed  to  take  care  and  charge  of  the  old  church 
or  town-house,  to  secure  it  from  further  damage,  and  to  prosecute  tho.se  who  have 
pulled  and  carried  away  a  great  part  of  it." — I<ib.  E,  46. 

"  1763,  April  5.— Samuel  Clowes,  John  Dorland,  X.effert  Hagewout,  Richard 
Hewlett,  Joh..  Jackson,  Daniel  Ki.ssam,  Robert  Marvin,  Jacob  Mott,  Ephenetus 
Piatt,  Isaac  Smith  and  John  Town.send  petition  the  town  to  grant  St.  George's 
Church  such  a  parcel  of  ground  joining  on  the  east  side  of  the  church-yard,  so  that 
the  burying  ground  may  be  enlarged  such  as  the  town  shall  see  fit,  (since  the  east 
en'j  of  the  burying  groun.!  is  filled  with  graves,  and  the  west  end,  which  is  now 
enclosed,  is  necessary  to  lay  open  for  the  coiigre^tion  to  tie  their  horses  on),  as 
many  families  have,  of  late,  begun  to  bury  their  dead  in  said  church-yard."— 
Mb.  F,  I. 

He  signed  the  loyalist  petition  to  the  King's  Commissioners  on  Oct.  21,  1776 
(footnote  on  p.  76). 

Concerning  the  circumstances  of  his  death,  a  short  manuscript  e.ititled  "  Pedi- 
gree Account  of  the  Dorland  Family,  by  Joseph  Dorland,  in  the  year  1816,"  in 
the  tx>s.session  of  Mrs.  Vary  E.  Dorland,  at  Bennett,  Neb.,  says  :  "John  Dor- 
land lived  to  the  age  of  94.  When  in  the  act  of  crossing  the  Hua.son  River  on  the 
ice,  he  broke  through  and  drowned."  How  he  came  to  be  on  the  Hiid.son  River 
can  only  be  conjectured,  but  it  is  .surmised  that  perhaps  he  was  on  a  sleighing 
Journey"  to  or  from  a  visit  to  his  ch.  and  grandch.  then  living  in  Dutche.ss  Co. 

He  made  a  will  dated  June  i6,  1778  and  prob.  June  5,  1781  (I.ib.  34,201,  Sur.  Off., 
New  York  City).  In  it  he  conveyed  several  tracts  of  land  and  one-half  of  all  the 
undivided  right  in  the  township  of  Hempstead  which  was  formerly  his  father's. 
His  legatees  were  his  son  John;  his  t  aughter-iii-law  Hannah,  wife  of  his  son 
Elias  3D ;  his  son  Samurl  ;  his  son  Jo  ieph  ;  hisdaus.  Miriam,  Anne,  and  Mary, 
and  his  grandsons  Joseph  and  I<iNNiN' -ON.  His  exrs.  were  his  son  John  and  his 
friend  John  Williams.  The  latter  only  qualified.  John  Dorland,  Sr.,  .signed  his 
name  thus :

*'rhe  following  schedule  of  John's  descendants,  except  the  section  covering 
John's  son  Samuel  and  his  descendants,  was  con.structed  artificially,  like  the 
schedule  of  Elias  2D.  The  remarkable  fullness  of  the  Samui;l  section  is  largely 
due  to  tlie  fact  that  Samuel  and  most  of  his  progeny  were  Quakers,  whose  careful 
attention  to  the  keepin({  of  family  records  is  oroverbial.  I'or  the  sake  of  uni- 
formity the  Quaker  notation  is  used  throughout  the  entire  schedule  under  John.

*  He  was  >  Quaker,  and  though  he  favored  the  British  cause  in  the  Revolution 
and  was  designated  afterward  as  an  U.  K.  I<oyalist,  he  took  no  active  part  in  the 
war.  He  accompanied  his  brother  Philip  ana  sisters  Marv,  Lbttv,  and  Anna. 
and  perhaps  his  brother  Thomas,  in  their  removal  from  New  York  by  water  to 
Adolphustown.  Upper  Canada,  after  the  peace. 

Kmbarkine  from  New  York  on  Sept.  8,  1783,  their  fleet,  consisting  of  7 
sailing  vessels,  accompanied  by  the  British  brig  Hope,  a  warship  of  40  guns, 
slowly  proceeded  up  the  Atlantic  coast,  past  the  shores  uf  New  England,  New 
Brunswick,  and  Nova  Scotia,  and  then  up  the  St.  I^wrence,  reaching  Quelwc  on 
Oct.  8.  At  Sorel,  further  up  the  liver,  they  found  it  neces.sary  to  rem.<»in  the  entire 
winter,  the  season  being  then  too  far  advanced  to  proceed.  There  they  built  huts 
and  cabins  for  shelter,  and  spent  the  winter  as  best  they  could.  liarly  in  the 
following  spring  they  were  supplied  with  batteaux,  built  at  Machine— one  for  each 
4^ families;    and  in  these  they  pursued  their  toilsome   way  up  the  rapids,  past 


Kingston,  up  the  Bay  of  Quinte,  whose  shores  were  then  an  unbroken  wilderness, 
and  finally  reached  their  destination,  now  Adolphustown,  30  miles  al>ove  Kingston, 
on  June  16,  1784.    There  the  whole  party  rerapined  for  a  time  in  canvas  tents,  until 


the  government  surveyor  had  completed  his  work  and  lands  were  distributed  to  the 
families  by  lot.  Among  the  others  of  that  band  whose  descendants  figure  in  thi.s 
family  history  were  Willet  Casey,  John  Clapp,  John  Trumpour,  Joseph  Clapp,  Capt. 
Mabie,  John  CannliT,  Philip  and  Owen  RoblilTTWra^ohn  Huyck,  all  of  whom 
settled  in  Adolphustown.  ^— ~»_— 

John  Dorland  received  grants  of  land  from  the  British  Government  for  himself 
and  his  older  sons,  and  settled  on  Hay  Bay,  in  Adolphustown.  Many  of  his 
descendants  now  live  in  Prince  Edward  Co.,  Ont. 

Dr.  Ryereon,  in  his  interesting  and  exhaustive  work  on  the  Loyalists,  thus  refers 
to  the  circumstances  of  this  settlement  and  the  experience  of  the  pioneers:  "At 
the  conclusion  of  the  Revolution,  Upper  Canada  was  unknown,  or  known  only  ns 
a  region  of  dense  wilderness  and  swamps,  of  venomous  reptiles  and  Iwa.sts  of  prey, 
the  hunting  grounds  and  encampments  of  numerous  Indian  tribes,  intense  cold  of 
winter,  and  no  other  redeeming  feature  except  abundance  of  game  and  fish.  The 
hardships,  exposures,  privations,  and  sufferings  which  the  first  I^oyalists  endnr°d 
in  making  their  way  from  their  confiscated  homes  to  Canada,  were  longer  and

*He  was  h  Quaker  and  a  Loyalist  sympathizer  with  the  British  iliiriiiK  the  Revo- 
lution, and  as  such  suffered  conliscRtion  of  his  property.  After  the  iwace,  he  Hud 
his  family,  with  his  lirother  John  and  his  sisters  Mahy,  Lktty,  and  Anna,  and 
their  families,  and  perhaps  his  brother  Thomas,  were  memlrers  of  the  celebrated 
V.  K.  Loyalist  band  of  refugees  under  Major  V'analstine  who  left  home  an<l 
kindred  l>ehind  in  New  York  and  .sailed  away  to  the  wilds  of  Upiwr  Canada  to 
found  new  homes  and  a  new  empire.    See  footnote  on  p.  i),s. 

•  Pnii.ir  settled  first  on  the  Hay  shore  in  front  of  Adolphustown,  at  the  iwint 
oppo.site  Glenora.  His  farm  is  now  owned  by  Dr,J^uuug.  Philip's  brother  Thomas 
scttleil  on  the  farm  adjoining.  Philip  afterward  removed  aoro.ssthe  Hay  to  the 
vicinity  of  Wellington,  Prince  Edward  Co.,  where  remain  many  •..!  his  descend- 
ants, prominent  residents. 

He  was  elected  for  the  old  Midland  District  t'l  the  first  Parliament  of  Upper 
Canada,  Aug.  21, 1792,  which  wasopened  by  John  Crn"e."  Simcoe,  the  first  Governor 
of  the  Province,  Sept.  17,  1792,  and  sat  at  Newark,  now  Niagara  ;  but  licing  a 
Quaker,  Philip  declined,  as  Quakers  still  do,  to  take  the  prescribed  oath,  and  his 
seat  was  declared  vacant.  It  was  in  Philip's  house  that  the  first  meeting  of  the 
Society  of  Friends  was  held  in  that  locality.

*"  Andukw  Dorland,  n   venerable  minister  of  the  Socipty  of  Kriends,  was  a 

irnKirkalile  man  in  many  n^pt'cls.  ami  lii.'^  lonjjand  exeniplarv  life  has  left  on  our 
mimUan  oblijialion  to  preserve  a  ntem.nial  thereof.  Iti  iSJi  lie  removed  with  his 
family.  eon.si'^tinK  of  him.self,  wife,  and  j  (iaujjhtcrK,  to  S.iraloj;a,  and  e.stahlihhetl 
Ids  liome  near  Dean'sCorners.  Soon  after  makir^  this  place  his  permanent  home, 
he  bev;an  re^nl.irly  his  wtn-k  in  the  ministry,  which  covered  a  perioil  of  ^k)  years. 
Onr  <lear  friend  was  a  jjood  example  in  moderation  and  npri^htness.  He  was  u 
man  *.A  benevolence  and  kindness  of  feeliiiK.  eonibincl  with  firmness  and  decision 
of  character,  and  beiii^f  of  s<innd  judj^nient  and  diseriniinalinjjt  mind,  he  was 
nnalifuMl  by  a  clo.se  attention  to  the  pointings  of  truth,  for  extensive  nsefiiliicss  in 
the  affairs  of  the  chnrch.  He  was  a  linn  advocate  for  the  tirder  and  diseipline  of 
our  Society,  many  times  citinjj  his  friends,  in  transacting  the  Imsinevs  of  MeetiuKS, 
to  the  importance  of  jilain  and  truthful  statements.  It  appears  by  recorded 
minutes,  that  he  received  from  Ins  Monthly  Meeting  certificates  of  approval  in 
reliRious  travels  to  tlie  (lifTerent  Yearly  Meeiings  and  Meetings  compitsing  tliem, 
to  the  number  of  ,V).  He  was  many  times  called  on  fur  conn.sel  and  to  .settle 
estates,  and  generally  gave  satisfaction.  The  laws  of  the  laml  were  not  what  he 
looked  to  for  his  guide  in  dealing  with  his  fellow  mortals,  believing  if  the  higher 
law  was  ever  kept  in  view,  it  would  not  lead  astray,  but  into  all  truth.  He  wasalso 
n  strong  advocate  of  a  good  and  guarded  education.  l>elieving  it  fitted  its  .subjects 
for  much  greater  nsefuluess  in  dfe,  and  for  a  number  of  years  he  had  a  select 
school  taught  on  his  own  pienii'^es,  in  a  school  building  prei)nred  by  him.-ietf  for 
that  purpose,  many  P'rietids'  children  from  a  distance  altemling."— Memorial

*Kor  his  war  service,  see  military  section,  Revolution  and  War  of  1812.  He  was 
known  as  "  Captain  Thomas."  His  proi^rty  in  New  York  was  confiscated  by  the 
State.  A  tradition  in  the  family  has  it  that  he  remained  in  hidinj^  in  the  woods 
near  his  home  in  Dutchess  Co.  I -.r  a  time  after  the  surrender  of  Dnr^oyne  and  was 
supplied  with  food  in  secret  by  meniliers  of  his  family.  By  one  account  he  fled 
from  Dutchess  Co.  to  Canada  in  17S11,  by  the  overland  route,  up  through  the  woods  and 
lakes  of  northern  New  York  to  Sorel,  on  the  St.  Lawrence.  By  another  account 
he  joined  hisbrothersJoHNand  Philip, and  his  sistersMARY,  Lettv,  andANNA,  in 
the  liand  of  Major  Vanalstiue,  in  their  memor-ible  voyage  by  water  to  Sorel  ill  17S3, 
Koiug  from  New  York  up  the  Atlantic  coast  and  up  the  St.  Lawrence,  as  recited  in 
Footnote  on  p.  95.. 

It  is  related  tliat  he  took  with  him  from  New  York  20  negro  slaves,  to  a.ssi.st  in 
clearing  the  forests  in  his  future  Canadian  home.  As  a  Captain  of  Provincials  he 
received  half-pay  from  the  British  government  after  the  peace,  and  also  3,000  acres 
of  land  in  Adolphustown  and  in  Prince  Kdward  for  him.self,  and  200  acres  for  each 
of  his  children.  The  farm  he  selected  as  his  homestead  adjoined  his  brother 
Philip's,  on  the  Bay  iu  front  of  Adolphustown.  lu  Canada  he  served  as  Commissary 
for  18  years ;  and  on  the  refusal  of  his  brother  Philip  to  take  the  pre.scribed  oath 
as  a  memlier  of  the  first  Parliament,  he  was  elected  to  succeed  him,  and  occupied 
a  seat  in  Parliament  for  years.  He  was  thus  the  first  serving  meml)er  for  the  old 
Midland  District. 

The  first  session  of  this  first  Parliament  lasted  only  4  weeks,  terminating  Oct. 
15,  1792.  But  it  enacted  8  bills,  indicating  no  haste,  well  prepared,  and  of  great 
importance  and  utility,  providing  for  the  introduction  of  English  law,  trial  by  jury, 
the  charges  of  millers,  the  recovery  of  small  debts,  and  for  the  division  of  the

lA'Kislatnrc  have  always,  for  the  most  part,  been  .such  from  that  day  to  this,  but 
many  of  the  memlwrs  of  the  fir  t  Parliament  of  Upper  Canada  had  po,s.ses.sed 
resjiectable,  and  .some  of  them  luxurious  homes.  *  *  *  Their  home-sptin 
garments  were  some  of  the  fruits  of  their  own  industry,  and  that  of  their  wives 
and  daughters.  Eight  years  had  elapsed  since  10,000  of  these  I'nitcd  Kmpire 
L,oyalists,  driven  from  their  homes  in  the  States,  came  into  the  den.se  wilderness 
of  Upper  Canada,  to  hew  out  homes  for  themselves  and  their  families  in  the  va.st 
solitude,  the  silence  of  which  was  only  broken  by  the  liarking  of  the  fox,  the  howl 
of  the  wolf  and  the  growl  of  the  licar,  and  the  occasional  whoop  of  the  Indian."— 
Ryerson,  ii,  30S. 

"  In  the  second  session,  the  first  Parliament  passed  an  act  forbidding  the  intro- 
duction of  slavery  into  the  province— ten  years  in  advance  of  I„ower  Canada  on 
that  subject."  (Ryerson.  ii.  313.)  This  act,  while  prohibiting  the  further  importation 
and  .sale  of  negro  slaves,  did  not  prevent  the  then  holders  from  retaining  tho.se  they 
already  had.  It  may  be  noted  that  this  .step,  in  addition  to  l>eiug  lo  years  in 
advance  of  I,ower  Canada,  was  many  years  in  advance  of  any  similar  step  by 
England  or  any  other  country.  The  negro  slaves  owned  by  Thomas  Dorlanu, 
who  was  a  member  of  the  Parliament  which  stopped  the  traffic  and  eventually 
extinguished  the  institution,  remained  with  him  by  cnoice  as  menilwrs  of  his  hou.se- 
hold  as  late  as  1820,  if  not  later.  Several  of  his  neighliors — Major  Vanalstine,  John 
Huyck.  the  Bogarts,  and  the  Trumimurs — also  brought  slaves  with  them  from 
New    York. 

*For  his  military  service,  see  military  .section.  He  was  known  as  "Colonel 
Sami'EL."     He  was  a  Wcsleyan  Methodi.st. 

"A  little  east  of  the  U.  E.  Memorial  church,  on  a  Iwautiful  rise  of  ground 
overlooking  the  Bay,  may  still  be  .seeii  the  renuuns  of  the  foundation  of  the  old 
.school-house,  probably  the  first  in  Adotphustown,  Around  the  place  still  stand 
the  grand  spreading  elms  that  then  surrounded  it.  Here  .some  of  the  leading  men 
of  that  section  of  the  Province  were  taught  their  first  les.sons— the  Macdonalds, 
'  little  Jack,'  afterwards  .Sir  John,  his  sister  Margaret,  afterwards  Mrs,  Prof. 
Williamson,  and  his  .lister  Jane,  all  of  whom  now  lie  side  by  side  in  the  Cataraqui 
Cemetry  ;  tlie  Doklandk,  Colonel  *■  mi'ki.  and  Major  Peter  ;  the  Caseys.  the 
"^.X''*iniiM>urs.  and  many  others.  The  ■.school-hou.se  was  then  a  small  square  log 
/  building,  such  as  would  now  scarcely  jjass  muster  in  a  backwoods  school  section, 
but  it  was  quite  a  noted  educational  center  then.  George  Hughes  was  the  teacher— 
a  well-educated  Englishman.  Scholars,  like  the  Macdouald  family,  the  Tr\nuix)urs, 
and  others,  came  miles,  from  Hay  Bay  ;'.iorc..  and  other  parts  of  the  Twp.  to 
attend  ;  and  others  were  sent  from  Picton.  Brockville.  and  other  distant  points  to 
get  even  the  advantages  of  such  a  primitive  .school  as  that."— Thomas  W.  Casey,

*  The  only  explicit  reference  to  Samuel  Dorland,  Jr.,  that  ha.s  been  found  is 
this,  from  the  Town  Records  of  Hempstead,  given  in  Onderkonk's  "Annals,"  62  : 
"  1 7c)j,  April  1.— Richard  Townseud  is  chosen  constable  ;  *  •  »  I.saac  Smith  and 
Samuel  Doklox,  Jr.,  surveyors  of  highways,  and  to  make  pnulential  orders 
according  to  Act  of  .Assembly." 

The  "  junior  "  necessarily  involves  a  senior.  Samuel,  Jr.,  must  have  been  an 
adult  in  1703,  when  appointed  a  surveyor  of  highways  111  Hempstead,  and  his 
father  must  have  been  at  least  40  years  old,  if  living,  or  born  not  later  than  166,1. 
Whether  .Samuel,  Sr.,  was  father  or  uncle  of  Samuel,  Jr.,  the  date  of  his  birth 
was  too  remote  to  supiiose  him  the  son  of  any  Uorlanut  yiiinger  than  Jan 
Gehretse.  the  emigrant  of  1652.

1st  Presb.  Ch.,  I'hila.,  Pa.  Arch.,  2d  .ser.,  ix,  17. 

{  .\  tradition  in  this  branch  indicates  that  there  were  4  brothers,  living  in  New 
Jersey,  probably  Morris  Co.;  one  of  them  being  the  William  atiove,  among 
whose  descendants  the  tradition  is  current,  and  2  others  being  Peter  and  Samuel. 
One  of  the  4  is  .said  to  have  been  a  carpenter,  and  to  have  neen  killed  by  falling 
timlwr.  Nki.son  Coleman  Durland.  grandson  of  William  Uorland,  wrote 
from  Seymmir,  Ind..  to  Deli'hine  K.  Jack,  under  date  Mar.  4.  1S90  :  "  It  seems 
to  me  that  luy  mother  told  me  that  the  carpenter's  name  was  Jeremiah,  but  I 
am  not  positive."  Pos.sibly  the  4th  son  was  Jeremiah,  named  after  the  father  of 
the  4  as  snpposetl,  though  this  is  speculative.  If  not.  the  4th  son  may  have  been 
John,  who  d.  1790-1,  at  Hardwick,  then  in  Su.s.sex  Co.,  N.  J.,  but  now  in  Warren 
Co  This  John  left  a  will  dated  May  is,  1790,  prob.  Feb.  15.  1791  (Trenton.  N.  J). 
His  legatees  were  his  wife  Charity,  his  son  John,  and  his  dans.,  Mary,  wife  of 
liKNjAMi.N  .Smith,  and  Annk.  wife  of  John  Wri(;ht.  The  exrs.  were  his  son 
John  and  John  Armstrong,  and  the  wit.  were  James  Barton,  Jo.seph  Cox  and 
Thomas  Morford. 

Concerning  living  representatives  of  this  branch  in  New  Jersey,  Nathaniel 
McPmerso.v  Durlino,  of  Raritan.  wrote,  Feb.  20,  1.S97  :  "Many  of  them  are 
millers.  I  have  been  acquainted  with  several,  and  being  a  miller  m^.self  at  one 
time,  we  were  chummy.  I  always  found  when  they  talked  about  their  ancestor.s, 
that  lliey  got  back  to  northern  Jersey  and  Orange  Co.,  N.  Y.  It  seems  they  don't 
stav  in  this  locality.  Draw  a  line  from  Elizal)etli  to  Plainfield,  and  thence  to 
Flemiiigton  and  Stockton,  on  the  Delaware  :  they  don't  get  .south  of  it." 

Isaac  W.  Dorland,  of  German  Valley,  Morris  Co.,  a  grandson  of  Peter,  writing 
a  few  weeks  before  his  death,  mentioned  a  tradition  that  one  of  the  brothers— he

*  "About  the  year  1819  or  '20.  my  father  left  New  York  and  settled  at  Browiistowii. 
This  waH  a  disastrous  move  for  iny  father,  for  he  not  only  lost  his  farm  in  New 
York,  mainly  through  the  villainy  of  one  Hacket,  to  whom  he  had  sold,  but  d, 
March  20th,  182J,  a  comparatively  young  man.  He  had  bought  2  farms  of  120 
acres  each  ;  he  had  moved  a  few  loads  of  '  plunder  '  to  one  of  them,  but  took  sick 
and  d.  liefore  the  move  was  accomplished,  leaving  us  a  strange  family  in  a 
strange  land.  Mournful  as  the  occasion  was,  it  was  upon  u.s,  aiul  we  had  to  face  it. 
The  move  was  comjjleted,  and  although  I  was  still  small,  I  shall  never  forget  it. 
It  was  more  like  gonig  to  a  fu!ieral  than  to  our  future  home.  V'e  went  to  work — 
springtime  was  upon  us.  My  brother.  Youngs,  as  we  always  called  him,  was  about 
17  years  old,  and  we  all  looked  to  him  to  tell  us  what  to  do.  We  made  a  ){ood  living 
for  that  early  day,  and  that  was  our  home  and  rallying  point  for  the  family  so  long 
as  there  were  enough  of  us  left  to  make  a  rally,"— Nel.son  Coleman  Durland,

In  iSoS  he  took  his  family  to  Canada,  antl  operated  a  grist  mill  at  Ancaster,  Ont. 
When  the  War  of  IS!2  broke  ont  he  was  called  upon  to  join  the  Canadian  troops  in

ground  th;it,  as  a  miller,  he  was  exempt  under  the  Hritish  law  from  military 
service.  Doubtless,  as  a  patriot  of  the  RevolulioiL  he  had  other  reasons  for  declin- 
ing to  take  up  arms  against  his  own  country.  His  refusal  was  not  accepted,  and 
he  was  .seizc<i  aiKl  couHueil  in  Niagara  jail,  until  rele.'iscd  by  a  Captain  ,Sweesy, 
who  ha<l  fought  under  Cieneral  Washington  in  177^1.  Meanwhile  rKTi-:H's  mill  had

The  Borland  Family. 


(d)  CHRISTINA  (STYNTJE)  DORLANDT. 

(d)  Christina  (Styntjb)  Dori,andt.    Born  about  1660;  married, 
Dec.  25,  1683,  Gbrrst  Stryckkr,  widower.* 

Little  is  known  of  her,  but  of  her  husband  we  have  a 
number  of  traces.  He  came  with  his  father  to  the  New 
Netherlands  in  1652,  and  in  December,  1673,  married  his 
first  wife,  Winnie  (Weyntje)  Cornelius,  who  died  within  the 
next  decade.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Reformed  Dutch 
Church  of  Flatbush  in  1677  ;  was  included  in  the  census  of 
1698  ;  was  commissioned  High  Sheriff  of  Kings  County, 
Oct.  II,  1686,  and  served  as  late  as  Apr.  20,  1693  ;  took  the 
oath  of  allegiance  at  Flatbush  in  1687  ;  was  appointed 
Quartermaster  of  a  troop  of  horse  from  Kings  County,  Jan. 
13,  1690,  by  Lieutenant-Governor  Leisler  ;  and  was  a  Judge 
of  the  Court  of  Richmond  County  (Staten  Island)  in  1720.! 

From  these  references  it  appears  that  Styntje  and  her 
husband  lived  first  at  Flatbush,  and  later,  some  time  after 
1698,  on  Staten  Island. 


♦  Third  child  and  ist  son  of  Jan  Strycker  and  I^amliertje  Sculwring,  of  Ruinen, 
in  the  Province  of  Drenthe,  in  the  Netherlands,  the  ancestors  of  the  Stryker  family 
of  Kings  Co.,  whoeniieratcd  to  the  New  Netherlands  in  1652.  Jan  was  1>.  1615,  and 
d.  Iwfore  1697.  After  the  death  of  his  wife  I.aniliertje,  he  ni.  again  twice,  lint  all  of 
his  H  ch.  were  by  (I..anil>ertje.  He  was  an  armorer,  al.so  a  farmer.  He  lived 
first,  after  his  emigration,  at  New  Amsterdam,  then  at  Klatlanils  and  I'latlmsh, 
where  he  served  as  a  magistrate.  IIj  represented  Midwout  (I'latlmsh)  in  the  Gen- 
eral Provincial  As.seml>Iy  which  met  at  New  Am.sterdam  in  April,  i66.^,  on  the 
siitnmons  of  Governor  Slnyvesant  to  resist  the  hostile  designs  of  the  English.  He 
also  represented  Flatbush  in  the  Hemiistead  Convention  of  i66.«i.  On  Ang.  iS.  1673, 
he  was  ma<le  Scheiwn  (justice)  for  Klutbiish,  and  on  Oct.  i^,  167,1,  a  Captain  fortlie 
town  of  Midwont.  He  served  asa  deputy  from  Midwont  in  the  council  of  war  held 
by  Governor  Colve  on  Mar.  26,  1674,  on  the  next  approach  of  the  Kngl'sh. — See

Aug.  19,  1674,  in  Reformed  Dutch  Church,  Urooklyn  ;  married, 
Aug.  2,  1695,  Adram  Pietbkskn,  who  died  after  1754. 

She  lived,  after  her  marriage,  at  New  York,  and  had 
several  children,  who  was  baptized  there.  Her  husband  seems 
to  have  resided  previously  at  Flatbush,  where  he  was  defend- 
ant in  a  lawsuit  brought  by  one  Isaac  Clacsen,  June  8,  1662,

Her  husband  was  a  member  of  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church 
at  Flatbush  in  1677,  thirteen  years  before  their  marriage, 
but  is  entered  on  the  record  as  having  removed.* 


(h)  ANNA  DORLANDT. 

(h^  Anna  DORtANDT.     Born  about  1674. 

Nothing  definite  is  known  of  her.     She  was  probably

(j)  John  (Jan)  Dorlandt.    Baptized  March  ao,  1681,  in  Refonnctl 
Dutch  Ch\irch,  Brooklyu  ;  *  died  July,  1754  ;  married  first,  aljout 

1700,  Mauy  (IMarretjk) ,  who  died  before  1712  ;  married 

(sup.)  second,  1712,  AuCE  or  Ei.Eanor  (Ai,TJE)  Van  Likw, 
who  died  after  1754. 

lyittle  is  known  of  him  with  positive  certaiuty.f  Ap- 
parently he  was  the  youngest  child  of  his  parents.  He  seems 
to  have  been  a  farmer  or  yeoman,  and  to  have  lived  first  at 
or  near  Brooklyn, J  possibly  between  Brooklyn  and  Jamaica, 
and  later,  after  1738,  near  Harlingeu,  or  Neshanic,  in 
Somerset  County,  N.  J. 

The  maiden  name  of  his  first  wife  is  not  known.  His 
second  wife  was  a  daughter  of  Frederick  Henricksen  Van 
Iview.  She  survived  her  husband,  and  it  would  seem  that 
he  had  by  her  no  children  who  survived  him. 

He  made  a  will,  from  which  it  is  evident  that  he  owned 
considerable  property  and  several  negro  slaves,  and  that  he 
maintained  communication  with  his  relatives  on  lyong  Island,

The  direct  and  the  inferential  facts  (Teduccd  from  this  will,  have  proven  refrac- 
tory and  dilTicnlt  of  construction;  but  the  con.stniction  here  given  represents  the 
compiler's  best  giie.s.s.  It  would  seem  that  this  Ian  Uorlandt  had,  in  I7.V(,  3  living 
brothers  and  a  step-sister  named  Gertjk,  and  2  "  whole  "  sisters,  the  younger  of 
whom  was  Antjk.  As  to  the  brothers,  Gerret  Gerretse  was  pronably,  and 
Ki.iAS  certainly,  dead  at  this  date,  leaving  Samuel,  Rem,  and  one  or  2 
others,  not  known,  to  make  up  the  requisite  3  referred  to.  'fhe  "  two  whole 
si.sters"  may  lie  identified  with  Antje  r.iid  Marretjb.  If  Antie  were  the

PRELUDE  SKETCH. 

T  AMBERT  JANSE  DORLANDT,  the  younger  of  the 
'■^  two  emigrant  brothers  from  Holland,  and  founder  of 
the  lesser  branch  of  the  family,  came  to  America  eleven 
years  after  his  elder  brother  Jan  Gerretse  Dorlandt, 
arriving  at  >rew  Amsterdam  on  April  i6,  1663,  in  the  ship 
Bontekoe  (^Spoiled  Cow),  a  vessel  of  the  Dutch  West  India 
Company  plying  lietween  that  port  and  Amsterdam  in 
Holland.* 

*  This  vessel  was  one  of  the  Mayfloivrrs  to  the  Dutch  Colony,  and  .seems  to  have 
made  several  trips  each  year  foi-  a  consiilcrahle  peritxl.  Sonic  of  1,ami!i:ht's 
fellow  imssengers  on  this  voyage  came  from  Tricltt,  I.eerdam,  Arnheim,  I^imburu, 
Well,  Kypen,  I'icardy,  the  Vaysilu  V'aud,  MontpcUicr,  l.cyden,  and  Paris.  We  <lo 
not  know  who  conimaniled  the  llimtekoe  on  her  .\pril  voyage,  hut  wc  rea<l  that  one 
Jan  Ilergen  was  her  skipiK-r  on  Dec.  ,y,  iWa  (Col.  Hist..  N.  V.,  ii,  ^^).  The  custom 
was  to  lire  a  salute  from  the  P'ort  on  the  <leimrture  of  ves.scl.s  for  the  l-'atherlaiul, 
and  we  read  in  the  delivery  iMwk  of  Jan  Reyuderten.  the  gunner  at  the  I'orl.  that 
on  the  departure  of  the  Itimlrkoe  on  Sept.  2y,  1664,  6  ]x)uuds  of  powder  were  used  in 
a  salute.    <Col.  Hist.,  N.  Y.,  ii,  46A.) 

No  descriptive  account  of  the  lioiilckoe  has  liecn  found:  but  wc  may  perhaps 
(father  at  le.ist  some  id.,-,  of  her  amnfarance  from  WashiuRton  Ir%'ing's  ludicrous 
description  of  his  mythical  GortU  ytoH7t\  which  he  jestingly  presents  as  a  type  of 
the  ves.sels  of  the  Dutch  West  India  Co.  at  that  ix;rio<l.  lr\Mng  says  :  "  It  was  in 
truth  a  most  gallant  >  es.sel,  of  the  most  improved  Dutch  con.structioii,  and  made  by 
the  ablest  shn>-carpcnters  of  Amsterdam,  who,  it  is  well  known,  always  nioflel 
their  ships  after  the  fair  forms  of  their  country-women.  Accordingly,  ft  had  100 
feet  in  the  beam,  100  feet  in  the  keel,  and  100  feet  from  the  bottom  of  lhesterii-i>o.st

hat,  a  huge  pair  of^  Flemish  trunk-hose,  and  a  pipe  that  reached  to  the  end  of  the 
Ixjwsprit.  '1  hus  gallantly  furnished,  the  .staunch  ship  floated  sideways,  like  a

Taking  his  arrival  at  New  Amsterdam  as  the  starting 
point,  we  are  enabled  to  follow  him  if  not  step  by  step,  at 
least  at  frequent  intervals,  down  toward  the  close  of  his  long 
and  busy  life,  and  to  note  many  of  the  principal  incidents  of 
his  career.  He  was  unquestionably  a  man  of  culture  and 
education,  and  of  much  more  than  the  average  force  of 
character.  He  bore  himself  well  in  all  the  relations  of  life 
in  his  day  and  generation  ;  he  filled  worthily  several  posts 
of  trust  and  responsibility  confided  to  him  by  his  fellow 
,  ioneers,  and  his  name  is  honorably  identified  with  the  early 
history  of  Kings  and  Richmond  Counties  and  of  the  infant 
Colony  of  New  York. 

Tlie  tradition  is  that  he,  like  his  brother,  was  young  and 
unmarried  on  his  arrival  in  America.*  There  is  reason  to 
believe  that  he  was  born  in  1639-40,  which  would  make  him 
twenty-three  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  his  immigration, 
and  that  he  died  in  1720,  aged  seventy-nine. 

In  the  period  between  1663  and  1720  he  resided  about 
eighteen  years  at  ^-ooV, /u,  thirty-four  years  on  Staten 
Island,  and  five  yeai^  in  ^^  .uerset  County,  East  Jersey. 

His  eldest  son  was  Li  r  .  at  Brooklyn  about  the  year  1666, 
so  that  the  year  of  his  marriage  may  be  reckoned  as  1665, 
two  years  after  his  immigration.  ^"-  married  Hermina 
Janse  Peters.  So  far  as  known,  she  was  his  only  wife. 
Nothing  definite  has  been  handed  down  of  her  birth  or 
death.  She  is  mentioned  in  baptismal  records  as  Hermina 
Janse  and  as  Hermina  Peters,  and  it  is  believed  she  was 
a  daughter  of  one  Jan  Peters.  Her  name  Hermina  has 
been  reproduced  in  some  of  her  female  descendants. 

*  Scu  icfereiice  to  this  tradition  in  footnote  on  p.  39,  under  Jan  Gkkketse.  The 
account  for  his  passai^e  also  iudicatRS  that  he  came  over  aloue.

He  first  settled  in  Brooklyn,  at  the  Dorp— or  village 
proper,  as  distinguished  from  the  outlying  hamlets.  He 
seems  to  have  served  as  a  Constable  of  Brooklyn  in  1671.* 
If  so,  he  must  have  been  kept  busily  occupied,  for  in  the 
previous  year  the  duties  of  this  single  oificer  had  been  pre- 
scribed in  sufl5cient  measure  to  occupy  the  time  and  atten- 
tion of  several  persons,  f 

In  1673  he  served  as  a  Magistrate  in  Brooklyn,  and 
perhaps  later.  J  His  name  and  the  amount  of  his  property 
appear  in  the  "Assessment  of  the  real  and  personal  property 
of  the  inhabitants  of  Breucklen,  made  up  on  the  20th 
August,  Anno  1675."     His  estate  then  was  not  extensive  : 

"  Lambert  Janse  DoRLA NTT:  i  poll,  4  cows j^38 

8  morgens  of  land  and  valley    16 

The  next  year  his  modest  property  was  still  less,  from  the 
loss  of  one  cow  :

tants too  instruct  theire  children  and  .servants,  in  matters  of  religione  and  the  law.s

In  1675  we  find  him  as  the  defendant  in  a  civil  suit 
brought  by  one  Robert  Hollis,  and  set  for  trial  at  Gravesend, 
June  15.  The  nature  of  the  suit  is  not  known,  and  the  case 
was  withdrawn  without  trial.* 

On  April  4,  1677,  we  find  him  signing  his  name  "  Lambert 
DoRLANT  "  as  a  witness  to  a  deposition  of  two  Indians,  drawn 
up  by  Michil  Hainelle,  Clerk  of  Brooklyn,  attesting  the 
limits  of  a  tract  of  930  acres  of  land  sold  in  1636  by  Sachem 
Ka  to  Jacques  Bentyn  and  William  Adriense  Bennett ;  and 
the  incident  is  noteworthy  from  the  fact  that  the  original 
transaction  in  i636isaccouuted  the  first  purchase  of  property 
looking  to  a  settlement  within  tlie  present  limits  of 
Brooklyn.t  ,    - 

In  1680  he  made  application  to  the  Governor  of  the  Colony 
for  a  body  of  land  over  on  Staten  Island,  J  and  his  wish  was 
promptly  granted.  A  survey  of  the  property  was  made  by 
order  of  Governor  Audros,  and  a  patent  issued  in  due 
ccurse.S

at  a  point  somewhere  between  the  beautiful  towns  of  New 
Brighton  and  Tompkinsville. 

Thither  IvAmbert  seems  to  have  removed  in  the  following 
year,  or  the  year  after,  for  he  does  not  appear  among  the 
residents  of  Brooklyn  in  the  census  of  1683,  though  his  name 
and  his  wife's  appear  on  the  records  of  the  Reformed  Dutch 
Church  of  Brooklyn  from  1677  to  1683-5.  '^n  this  point  we 
may  assume  that  after  their  removal  to  Staten  Island  they 
continued  their  connection  with  the  Brooklyn  church. 

On  Staten  Island  Lambert  seems  from  the  first  to  have 
attained  and  occupied  a  high  standing  in  the  regard  of  the 
people,*  for  in  less  than  ten  years  after  his  arrival  among 
them  he  received  at  their  hands  the  greatest  mark  of  honor

Governor  Sloughter,  and  the  elections  were  held  by  the 
Sheriff  of  each  County  on  a  viva  voce  vote.  The  electors 
were  limited  to  freeholders  of  at  least  three  months'  residence 
in  the  electoral  districts,  and  possessed  of  freeholds  worth 
not  less  than  ^40  each.  Lambert  Dorlandt's  election 
was  effected  at  a  special  poll  taken  in  obedience  to  a  writ 
issued  on  a  warrant  signed  by  the  Speaker  of  the  Assembly. 
The  sessions  of  the  Assembly  were  held  in  the  city  of  New 
York,  in  a  rented  house  or  hall  not  far  distant  from  Fort 
William  Henry,  just  east  of  the  Battery. 

At  that  time  the  Province  was  harassed  by  the  anxieties 
attending  its  war  "  against  the  French  and  their  Indians," 
known  in  history  as  King  William's  War.*  Parties  of 
French  and  Indians  had  descended  from  Canada  on  their 
snow-shoes  through  the  unbroken  forests  in  the  depth  of 
winter,  and,  falling  upon  the  exposed  settlements,  had  com- 
mitted horrible  barbarities  with  torch  and  tomahawk.  Most 
of  the  settlers  at  Schenectady  had  been  massacred,  and  the 
few  survivors  had  fled  to  Albany,  whither  relief  expeditions 
had  been  sent.  Terror  reigned  on  the  western  frontier ;  men 
and  money  were  lacking,  and  the  Colony's  limited  resources 
were  taxed  to  the  utmost ;  but  the  people  responded  gener- 
ously to  the  demands  of  that  crisis.  Their  Representatives 
in  the  Assembly  were  now  endeavoring  to  provide  ways  and 
means  of  driving  back  the  enemy  and  of  relieving  the  appre- 
hension of  future  attacks.  Under  these  circumstances  I,am- 
BERT's  legislative  service  is  of  special  interest ;  and  happily

aided  the  English.  The  war  la.sted  intermittently  for  8  years,  16S9-97,  and  was

This  session  of  the  Assembly  adjourned  October  2,  1691,! 
and  the  next  session  did  not  convene  until  August  16,  1692, 
apparently  on  account  of  the  demoralization  into  which  the 
throes  of  renewed  war  had  thrown  the  Provincial  Govern- 
ment.!

The  Dorland  Family. 


Lambert  Dorlandt  was  present  at  the  reconvening  and 
thenceforward  each  day,  with  but  few  exceptions,  to  the  end. 
He  seems  to  have  been  accorded  a  prominent  participation 
in  the  legislative  work  from  the  beginning.  Thus  we  read, 
in  the  third  day's  proceedings  : 

"  Diejovis,  i  ho,  P.  M.  August  i8, 1692. 

Ordered, 

Tlidt  Major  Merrett,  Colonel  Pierson,  Mr.  Theale,  r,-r.  Duksberry, 
Mr.  Dorland,  Mr.  Stillwell,  Mr.  Poland,  Mr.  Whitehead,  Mr.  Rens- 
selaer, and  Captain  Wessels,  be  a  Committee  to  enquire  into  the 
necessary  Supplies  for  the  reinforceing  of  Albany  ;  and  to  make  Report 
thereof  to  this  House  To-morrow,  by  10  o'clock  in  the  Morning  " 
(p.  20). 

It  seems  the  exigencies  of  the  public  welfare  permitted  no 
relaxation  of  activity  even  on  the  Sabbath,  for  nine  days  later 
we  read : 

"  DieSabatii,  8  ho.  A.  M.  August  27,  1692. 

Ordered,  That  a  Member  of  each  County,  viz.  Major  Merret,  Mr. 
Kipp,  Capt.  {Vessels,  Major  Beektnan,  Lambkrt  Dori^and,  Joseph 
Theale,  Capt.  Howell,  Capt.  Whitehead,  and  Mr.  Poland,  or  any  five 
of  them,  be  a  Committee,  to  enquire  into  the  cause  why  the  late  Acts 
of  Assembly,  that  hare  been  made  for  the  Security  of  the  Frontiers 
of  this  Province  at  Albany,  have  not  been  duly  executed,  according 
to  the  true  Intent  and  Meaning  thereof,  and  to  make  report  of  the 
Defects,  of  the  Men,  and  of  the  Arrearages  of  the  Tax,  appointed  for 
the  paying  the  Men  and  defraying  the  incidental  charges  thereof,  on 
Monday  2  o'clock,  P.  M." 

The  Committees  referred  to  were  unable  to  report  the  result 

of  their  inquiries  on  the  dates  fixed,  and  doubtless  encoun- 


tlie  Half-Moon  garrisoned  but  with  40  Men;  the  Fortific.itions  out  of  Repair;

tered  unexpected  difficulties  in  reaching  a  conclusion,  for 
the  Assembly  adjourned  over  from  day  to  day  pending  the 
presentation  of  their  reports.*  On  September  6  the  first 
Committee  was  ordered  to  take  into  consideration  also  the 
inquiries  entrusted  to  the  second,  and  John  Robinson,  Cap- 
tain Dernier,  and  Captain  Van  Schaick  were  added  to  its 
membership.  On  the  8th  the  Committee  reported  a  satisfac- 
tory solution  of  the  problems  submitted  to  it,  embracing  the 
advancement  of  the  necessary  funds  from  private  sources. 
Thereupon  an  appropriation  was  made  for  the  expenses  of 
the  last  expedition  to  Albany,  amounting  to  "  Nine  Hun- 
dred and  Twenty  Five  Pounds,  Two  Shillings  ;i,id  Eleven- 
pence Farthing,"  with  provision  for  the  reimbursement  of 
those  who  had  advanced  the  funds,  and  steps  were  taken  to 
collect  the  arrearages  and  ascertain  the  debts  of  the  Govern- 
ment. Next  day  the  Assembly  received  from  the  Governor 
three  bills — one  for  raising  and  paying  200  men  for  a  new 
frontier  expedition,  another  for  raising  80  men  in  Ulster  and 
Dutchess  County,  and  another  "  to  restrain  and  punish  Pri- 
vateers and  Pyrates."t  These  bills  were  enacted  the  same 
day,  and  it  was  "ordered  that  Mr.  Renssalaer,  Mr.  Poland 
and  Mr.  Dorland  do  carry ' '  them  up  to  the  Governor  and 
Council.  The  Governor  promptly  signed  them,  and  after

the  Colony,  namely,  the  arrival  in  state  oi  a  new  Governor.^  It  may  be  realized 
how  on  that  day  the  further  consideration  of  perplexing  Imsiness  was  out  of  the 
question,  without  reading  lietween  the  lines  of^  this  naive  memorandum  : 

*^  Die  Lunae,  2  ho.  P.  M.  August  29,  1692. 

"The  House  lieing  met  according  to  Adjournment,  did  attend  their  Duties,  but 
the  Arrival  of  his  Kxcellency  Colonel  Benjamin  Fletcher,  did  put  .some  Stop  to

wholly  ineffectual.  It  was  l)ecanse  the  depredations  of  ■  •■.atcs  had  l)ecome  intol-

Assembly  was  prorogued.*  At  the  next  session  I,ambert 
was  succeeded  by  John  Teunissen,  a  neighbor. 

On  October  12,  1696,  IvAmbert  and  his  wife  Hbrmina 
sold  their  plantation  of  forty  acres  in  Brooklyn  to  Jacobus 
Van  Deventer,  heretofore  mentioned,  who  resided  on  it  as  a 
tenant  and  was  then  one  of  the  Commissioners  in  Brooklyn 
to  divide  the  common  lands.f 

Five  years  later,  when  the  popular  ferment  due  to  the 
lycisler  troubles  was  about  subsiding,!  representations  were 
made  to  the  British  government  at  home  that  the  agitation 
was  the  result  of  disloyalty  on  the  part  of  the  anti-Leislerians 
toward  King  William  and  an  indication  of  their  preference 
for  the  Roman  Catholic  religion.  Accordingly  a  memorial 
was  drawn  up  and  signed  by  the  most  prominent  Protestant 
freeholders  of  the  Colony,  expressing  their  loyalty  to  the 
crown  and  refuting  the  misrepresentations  ;  and  among  the 
signers  was  Lambert  Dori,andt.§ 


♦  Tlie  simplicity  of  this  Imdy  aiicl  of  those  early  times  is  accentuated  by  the  small 
expense  of  administration  and  the  slight  compensation  of  the  memoers.  The 
Clerk  received,  as  per  itemized  account  rendered,  ^38-i4S.-6d.,  out  of  which  he 
paid  himself,  his  assistants,  the  doorkeeper,  hall-rent,  and  several  other  expenses, 
for  the  two  sessions  of  1691-2.     (Journal,  i.  23-5.) 

Members  were  paid  by  their  constituents.  The  Burgesses  from  New  York, 
Westchester,  gueens.  Kings,  Ulster,  Richmond,  Dutchess,  Orange,  and  the  Mauor 
of  Cortlandt  received  6  shillings  (7s  c.)  a  day  for  the  time  of  their  attendance, 
which  was  duly  certified  by  the  .Speaker,  and  the  same  per  diem  for  their  journey

Boston  in  April,  16S9  ;  and  Nicholson,  Andros's  I«ieutenant  at  New  York,  fearing  a 
similar  uprising,  had  fled  to  England.  Jacob  Leisler,  who  had  been  entrusted  by 
the  magistrates  with  the  temirorary  administration  of  affairs,  thereupon  .seized  the 
Fort  and  took  up  the  reins  of  government.  He  levied  troops  and  exercised  a 
general  ascentlancy,  supported  by  the  lower  orders  of  the  population,  but  bitterly

During  his  long  residence  on  Staten  Island  Lambbrt  evi- 
dently left  numerous  traces  of  his  personality  there,  for  the 
historian  Clute  says  of  him  : 

"DoRi<AND. — In  the  latter  part  of  the  17th  ceutury,  we  meet  the 
name  of  Lambert  Dorland  frequently.  He  *  *  *  must  have 
been  a  man  of  considerable  importance.  The  name  has  now  entirely 
disappeared  from  Staten  Island."* 

In  the  year  1715  lyAMBBRT  removed  to  Somerset  County, 
East  Jersey,  in  the  vicinity  of  the  present  village  of  Har- 
linger,  near  Six  Mile  Run,  a  tributary  of  the  Raritan,  where 
on  March  28,  in  conjunction  with  Peter  Cowenhoven,  he 
purchased  of  Octavio  Conraats  a  tract  of  500  acres  of  land.f 
This  was  part  of  a  tract  of  9,000  acres  conveyed  about  the 
year  1710  to  seventeen  Dutch  settlers  from  Long  Island  by 
Peter  Sonmans,  who  had  inherited  it  from  his  father,  Aerent 
Sonmans,  the  original  purchaser  from  the  Indians.  J  Lam- 
bert subsequently  acquired  the  full  ownership  of  that  es- 
tate, and  settled  thereon,  to  pass  the  remainder  of  his  days 
in  rural  peace  and  quiet.  It  is  a  pretty  country,  and  for 
many  years  after  Lambert's  time  that  part  of  the  estate 
lying  next  to  the  Sauerland  or  Neshanic  Mountains,  about 
three  miles  distant,  was  still  in  woods.  The  tract  is  now  in- 
tersected by  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  Railroad  between 
Philadelphia  and  Boundbrook.     Lambert  is  mentioned  in 


♦"Annals of  Staten  Island,"  302.  The  disappearance  of  the  name  of  Dorland 
from  Staten  Island  was  due  to  the  removal  of  IiAMBHkt's  yo>iii({est  son,  John, 
with  his  family,  in  1726,  noted  in  the  sketch  devoted  to  hini,  as  well  as  to  the  re- 
moval of  I<AMBERT  himself. 

t  East  and  West  Jersey  had  been  united  with  New  York  as  one  Province  since 
1702,  but  with  a  separate  Assembly.  In  173s  New  Jer.sey  was  set  apart  as  a 
separate  Province. 

X  These  17  settlers  were  Hendrick  Veghte,  Anna  Volkerse,  Claas  Volkerse,  Dirck

It  is  believed  that  he  resided  in  the  house  still  standing, 
though  in  a  remodeled  condition,  on  that  farm — known  in 
the  neighborhood  as  the  old  Borland  homestead  ;  or  else

of  Harlingen.f  We  know  not  whether  his  wife  Hkrmina 
was  still  living  and  with  him  in  his  declining  years.  But 
we  are  assured  that  his  eldest  son,  Gerrbt  Janse,  was, 
and  in  all  probability  the  father  dwelt  in  the  household  of 
his  son,  surrounded  by  his  son's  growing  family,  and  enjoy-

immunities  rightfully  accorded  to  a  green  and  placid  old  age.

siiace  l)etween  the  head  and  foot-stones,  are  of  children.  The  neglect  of  this  plat

projecting  above  the  sod  about  sixteen  inches,  and  decked 
with  the  rude  but  loving  sculpture  of  one,  doubtless  of  his 
own  blootl,  whose  artistic  skill  did  not  equal  his  affectionate 
devotion.  The  cuttings,  apparently  executed  with  an  edge 
tool,  picture  the  outline  of  a  ship,  with  masts  and  rigging, 
and  spots  on  the  forepart  of  the  hull,  evidently  made  with 
a  round  drill.  On  the  highest  mast  is  a  flag.  On  the  upper 
part  of  the  design,  between  the  masts  of  the  vessel,  are 
remains  of  the  initials  "  L.  D."  and  the  figures  "  79  ".  The 
in.scriptions  are  faint  in  places,  owing  to  the  crumbling  of 
the  stone.  It  is  believed  that  the  markings  were  designed  to 
.symbolize  his  emigration  over  seas  in  the  Spotted  Cow. 

Many  specimens  of  Lambert's  handwriting  exist  among 
the  old  records  of  New  York.  The  signatures  vary  in  style 
and  composition  with  their  dates.  Among  the  varieties  are 
these:  "  Lambert  Janse  Dorrri.ant,"   "  Lamber  Dor- 

RKLANT,"  "  LAMBRRT  DorLANT,"  "  LAMBERT  DORREWN," 

and  "  Lambert  Borland" — showing  a  sort  of  evolution 
at  successive  periods.  In  the  two  specimens  here  given,  of 
1673  and  1694,  it  will  be  observed  that  the  middle  name  is 
retained  in  the  first  and  omitted  in  the  .second — a  circum- 
stance frequently  noted  in  signatures  of  that  epoch.

(a)  GKRRET  jANSE  DORl<ANDT.  Bom  about  1666;  died  after  1720  ; 
married,  May  20,  1692,  jANE  (Jannetje)  Schenck,  who  was 
born  about  1673.* 

He  is  understood  to  have  beeti  IvAmbert  Jansr  Dor- 
LAndt's  eldest  child.  He  was  born  at  Brooklyn,  grew  up 
there,  and  resided  there  throughout  the  early  part  of  his 
life.  The  latter  part  of  his  life  he  spent  in  Somerset  County, 
N.J. 

He  was  a  farmer.  In  1687  he  took  the  oath  of  allegiance 
as"GERRiT  D0RI.ANT  native,"  "off  Breucklijn."t 

On  October  30,  1691,  he  was  appointed  by  the  will  of 
Elias  Dorlandt,  of  Hempstead,  as  one  of  two  "overseers  " 
to  look  after  EtiAs's  estate,  and  was  referred  to  as  "my 
cousin  Garrit  Borland. "J 

In  the  year  1708,  or  thereabout,  he  removed  with  his 
family  to  the  vicinity  of  Harlingen,  in  the  lower  part  of 

*BerRc'U's  "  Early  Settlers,"  251.  She  was  one  amotiR  9  ch.  of  Jan  Marlensen 
Schenck  and  Jannetje  Van  Voorhees.  Jan  Martenscn  Schenck  came  from  Holland 
in  i6;io,  settled  in  Klatlands,  and  afterward  ni.  On  Dec.  29,  i6s7,  he  bonght  of 
Klhert  Kllx^rtse  StontholT  a  half-interest  in  the  mill  and  island  whereon  the  mill 
stood,  near  Bergen's  I.sland,  off  1-latland.s,  and  later  obtained  the  other  half- 
interest.  The  old  dwelling  honse  of  wood  standing  on  the  Mill  Island,  and  which 
by  tradition  was  erected  by  the  Schencks  after  the  purchase  of  the  property,  was 
still  standing  in  1S81.    He  made  a  will  dated  Ian.  28,  1688-g. 

Jannetje  Van  Voorhees  was  one  of  10  ch.  of  Steven  Koerts  Van  Voorhies,  the 
common  anc'Stor  of  the  Voorhees  family  in  this  country.  He  was  b.  in  1600,  and 
emigrated  in  1660  with  his  wife  and  7  ch.  from  a  spot  in  front  of  the  hamlet  of  Hecs 
(hence  the  name),  near  Ruinen,  in  the  Netherlanu  provinceof  Urenthe.  and  .settled 
at  Klatlands.  He  was  twice  m.— the  first  time  in  Europe.  He  m.  his  2d  wile, 
Willempie  Koelofse  Seubering,  in  1677.  He  was  a  Schejien  (justice)  of  Klatlands

The  Dorland  Family. 


Somerset  County,  N.  J. ,  whither  a  number  of  other  Dutch  set- 
tlers from  L,ong  Island  had  preceded  him.  Little  is  definitely 
known  of  him  there,*  except  his  residence  and  agricultural 
pursuits,  and  the  fact  that  about  the  year  1720  he  acquired 
of  his  father,  either  by  purchase  or  inheritance  (probably 
the  latter),  the  title  to  the  500-acre  tract  of  land  whereon  he 
lired,  heretofore  described,  t  and  which  he  left  to  his  children. 

That  region  was  then  in  a  primitive  condition,  and  the 
facilities  for  education  and  religious  instruction  enjoyed  by 
the  settlers  were  but  meagre.  Yet  it  is  evident  that  Gerret 
JA.N.SE  was  enabled  to  rear  his  children  creditably,  and  to 
afford  them  the  advantages  of  a  fair  education  for  that  day. 

The  old  farm-house  near  Harlingen  in  which  he  lived  and 
probably  died  has  already  been  described,  together  with  the 
circumstance  uf  his  father's  residence  with  him.  J 

The  date  of  his  death  is  uncertain,  as  is  also  that  of  his 
wife  ;  but  it  is  undoubted  that  their  remains  were  interred 
in  the  family  burial  plat  hard  by  the  farm-house. § 

His  descendants  are  located  principally  in  New  Jersey, 
Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Michigan,  and  Illinois.

*  Gerret  and  his  brotlier.s  Aiir  aham  and  Lambert  executed,  Mar.  29.  1739-40,  a 
quitclaim  deed  dividing  the  500-acre  tract  of  their  father  into  3  part.s  and  convej- 
ing  s|)ecifically  one  part,  about  160  acres,  to  each.  Nathaniel  McPherson 
DURLiNfi,  of  Karitan,  ha.s  the  original  document — a  formidable  affair  as  to  length 
and  verbiage,  beginning,  "This  Indenture  made  the  29th  Day  March  in  the 
twelfth  year  of  the  reign  of  our  Sovereign  Lord  George  II  King,  &c.  one  Thousand 
.seven  Hundred  thirty  nine-forty."  It  refers  in  the  roundabout  fashion  of  the  time 
to  the  3  previous  titles — of  the  17  Dutch  settlers,  of  Lambert  Janse,  and  of 
Gerret  Janse,  and  describes  with  minute  measurements  the  several  portions. 
It  is  .signed  "Gerret  dorlant,"  "Abrahaem  dorLant,"  and  "Lemert 
doerLant,"  in  the  pre.sence  of  Jno.  Dalley  and  Rudolph  vanZant.  Gerret'.s

(b)  Mary  (Marretje)    I)ori<andt.      Baptized  April    19,  1672,  in 
Reformed  Dutcli  Church,  Brooklyn. 

In  the  entry  in  the  baptismal  records  her  parents  are 
stated  to  have  been  "  IvAmbert  Janssen  Dorlant  and 
Hermtie  Peters,"  and  Wouter  Gysseu  and  Futien  Mar- 
tense  are  noted  as  witnesses.  It  would  seem  that  she  died 
in  infancy.

Mhrrki.i,,  jR.,t  who  was  born  July  6,  1682,  and  died  Sept.  6, 
1760. 

Many  circumstances  combine  to  invest  her  name,  person- 
ality, and  history  with  a  special  charm.  She  was  the  only 
daughter  of  the  emigrant  Lambert  Jans:?  who  grew  to 
womanhood,  so  far  as  we  know,  and  for  that  reassou  descend- 
ants of  each  of  Lambert's  sons  regard  her  memory  with  a 
sentiment  of  personal  tenderness,  as  the  memory  of  their 
ancestor's  only  little  sister,  and,  by  remote  retro.spection, 
their  own.  In  maturity  she  became  '.he  fruitful  mother  of  an 
enlightened  posterity.     She  dutifti'ly  bestowed  her  father's

name  on  one  of  her  sons,  and  lived  to  see  it  transmitted  to 
several  of  her  grandsons  ;  and  her  own  pretty  name  has  been 
handea  Jown  in  loving  remembrance,  beginning  with  her 
eldest  child  and  daughter,  through  successive  generations 
of  daughters  of  her  house,  and  is  still  borne  with  apprecia- 
tive pride  by  many  of  them  now  living. 

She  was  born  at  Brooklyn,  was  baptized  at  Flatbush,  and 
died  in  Northfield  Township,  Staten  Island.  The  exact 
dates  of  hei  birth  and  death  have  been  preserved  by  her 
descendants.  Only  five  years  of  her  childhood  seem  to 
have  been  spent  in  Brooklyn,  and  the  remainder  on  the 
beautiful  lyovelace  estate  which  her  father  had  acquired  on 
Staten  Island.  We  may  picture  her  in  her  childhood  and 
early  womanhood  as  an  affectionate  and  dutiful  daughter 
to  her  parents,  and,  as  a  pattern  wife  and  mother,  we  may 
consider  her  identity  as  happily  absorbed  in  that  of  her 
husband  and  children. 

Her  husband,  as  her  father  had  been,  was  a  distinguished 
member  of  the  Colonial  Assembly  of  New  York  from  Rich- 
mond County,  from  1725  to  1737,  and  was  made  Judge  of 
the  County  Court  in  1739.  His  plantations  in  Northfield 
were  valuable,  and  in  the  old  records  we  read  of  his  owning 
negro  slaves.*  In  his  will  he  made  careful  provision  for  his 
wife  and  two  children  then  living,  t

Both  Elsie  and  her  husband  were  members  and  pew- 
holders  of  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church  at  Port  Richmond, 
and  their  children  were  baptized  there.  An  interesting 
diagram  of  the  church  edifice  is  still  in  existence,  showing 
the  arrangement  of  the  pews  in  the  year  1751,  and  the  pews 
which  they  occupied.* 

Her  descendants  have  been  remarkable  for  their  longevity. 
The  present  represenatives  of  her  blood  reside  chiefly  on 
Staten  Island  and  vicinity,  in  New  York  City  and  Brooklyn, 
and  at  near-by  points  in  New  York  State  and  New  Jersey  ; 
also  in  Texas  and  Mississippi.

fi4,  was  credited  also  to  Belitie  I)e  Groot.  It  was  located  on  the  2d  row  from  the 
pulpit,  facing  the  platform,  and  thus  clo.se  to  the  minister— a  position  accorded  to 
aged  persons  and  tho.se  of  dull  hearing.  RiCHARU  Mrrrki.l'.s  pew,  no.  39.  was 
at  the  rear  of  the  ch.,  on  the  left  side,  next  the  wall.

of  I'^i.siii's  ch.  and  some  of  the  ch.  of  her  l>rother  John  (next  section),  contain  u

ch.  at  Port  Richmond.  Havles  (p.  368)  says  of  it :  "This  venerable  and  valuable 
relic  .several  years  ago  fell  Into  bad  company  and  l>ecame  degraded  to  the  level  of 
ciiminon  gariet  rubbish.  While  in  this  condition,  and  just  as  it  was  about  to  be 
consiguctT  to  a  bonfire  by  those  who  had  no  knowlege  of  its  value,  it  was  rescued 
from  destruction  by  Mr.  Alfred  de  Groot,  who  promptly  placed  it  in  the  hands  of 
its  proper  custodians."

*  Mrs.  Blakk  recollected  vividly  many  Revoltitionnry  incidents  which  she  wit- 
nessed in  iier  childhood.  She  related  that  a  nnniber  ofAniericans  came  over  from 
the  Jersey  Sliore  one  day  and  were  inakin^  merry  at  a  drinkiiig-honse.  An  English 
officer  who  was  slaying  at  her  father's  house  appeared  at  dinner  with  his  rufllesall 
bloody,  Meexplaiiied  that  he  had  Wiled  "  half  a  dozen  drunken  Americans." 
She  recollected  .seeing  a  negro  woman  covering  one  <Ie(id  iKidy  with  brush.  Capt. 
Br.AKK.  her  husliand,  related  that  during  the  war  the  Hes.sians  lived  near  the 
"marble  house"  in  caves,  on  the  Dongaii  estate.  He  had  visited  them  in  their 
underground  habitations  to  collect  the  money  for  a  beef  which  had  l)een  run 
through  by  them.  They  were  fed  on  slices  of  pork,  and  rum  with  sugar  shaken 
up  in  it,  winch  they  called  "schnaps."    See  Bayles's  "  Richmond  County,"  24H.

The  Dorland  Family. 


(d)  JOHN  (JAN)  DORLANDT. 

(d)  John  (Jan)  Dori.andT.     Baptized  March  20,  1681,  in  Reformefl 
Dutch  Church,  Brooklyn  ;  d;e<l  after  1749  ;  married  first,  about 

1699,  Mary  (Marretje) ,  who  died  before  1718;  married 

second,  about  1718,  Barbara  Aukes  Van  Nuys,*  who  was 
baptized  April  12,  1685,  in  Reformed  Dutch  Church,  New 
Utrecht,  and  died  after  1746. 

He  is  understood  to  have  been  the  youngest  child  of  his 
parents,  and  was  the  founder  of  the  large  Pennsylvania 
branch  of  the  family.  His  avocation  was  that  of  a  cord- 
wainer,  or  shoemaker.  Later  he  became  a  farmer.  He 
resided  in  early  life  at  Brooklyn  ;  thence  he  removed,  about 
1706-7,  to  Staten  Island  ;  and  thence  iii  1726  to  Philadelphia 
County,  Pennsylvania,  where  he  settled  permanently. 

Regarding  his  first  wife,  whom  he  married  while  living  at 
Brooklyn,  we  know  only  her  first  name,  Mary.  During 
their  residence  at  Brooklyn  they  had  at  least  two  children. 


*  Da\i.  of  J.T11  Aukes  (or  Oiike)  Van  Nuys  and  Eva  Jacctisc.  Kariiara's  father

Rert  Alhertse,  he  built  by  contract  a  parsonage  in  Elatbusii.  He  took  the  oath  of 
allegiance  at  Flatbush  in  16S7.  In  i6yi  lie  bought  land  at  Jamaica,  where  he  res.

liARiiAKA's  grandfather,  Aucke  Jansen  Van  Nuyse,  the  common  ancestor  of  the 
Van  N'nyse  family,  emigrated  in  1651  from  .'Vmsterdam.  The  elder  family  in  Hol- 
land lived  in  the  village  of  Nuis.  in  Groningen  ;  whence  the  name.  He  m.  1st,

who  were  baptized  in  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church  there.* 
The  exact  date  of  his  marriage  to  his  second  wife,  Barbara, 
is  not  known.  Though  six  of  his  children  were  baptized  in 
the  Reformed  Dutch  Church  on  Staten  Island,  the  baptismal 
records  of  only  the  last  three  contain  the  name  of  the  mother, 
Barbara  Aukes,  leaving  in  doubt  the  question  whether  the 
preceding  three  children  were  her  ofiFspring  also,  or  the  off- 
spring of  MAivV,  the  first  wife.f 

Few  traces  of  his  career  on  Staten  Island  have  been  found  ; 
but  on  May  16,  1715,  he  was  involved,  together  with  several 
of  his  Staten  Island  neighbors,  in  an  obscure  difficulty  with 
one  Joost  Van  Brunt,  supposed  to  have  arisen  from  an  attempt 
by  Van  Brunt  to  interfere  with  the  shad  fisheries  of  the 
island.! 

In  1726  he  removed  with  his  wife  and  family  to  Moreland 
Manor,  in  Philadelphia  County,  Pa.,  and  settled  on  a  farm  of 
210  acres  which  he  purchased  of  William  Brittain  and  wife

The  Borland  Family. 


Rachel  on  May  2  of  that  year.*    His  ownership  of  this 

*  The  tract  was  called  "  Mount  Carmel,"  and  was  thus  described  :  "  Regiuiiing  at 
a  stone  by  Peniiepacka  Creek  thence  n.  w.  by  Robert  Fletcher  &  James  I'auls 
land  300  Perches  to  a  Hlack  Oak  being  also  a  Corner  of  Thomas  Morris's  land 
thence  ii.  e.  beside  Tliomas  Morris's  land  120  perches  to  a  Illack  oake  thence  s.  e. 
by  Richard  Hills  lyaiid  226  perches  to  a  Corner  white  oak  ye  n.  e.  side  of  ye  said 
Creek  thence  Sonth  18  degrees  West  over  ye  said  Creek  thence  down  ye  several 
Courses  of  ye  said  Creek  to  the  place  of  lleginning." 

The  chain  of  title  to  this  property  extends  back  to  the  aboriginal  owners. 
William  Ilrittain  had  obtained  it  by  deed  from  David  Marple  and  Jane  his  wife, 
May  26,  1719;  Marple  had  obtained  it  by  deed  from  John  Morgan,  Feb.  11,  1707  ; 
Morgan  from  John  Callow,  May  16,  1699;  Callow  from  William  Huntley,  Apr.  i, 
1697  ;  Hmitley  from  Elias  Keitch  and  Mary  Moore  his  wife,  l''eb.  8,  1691,  as  part  of 
a  larger  tract ;  Mary  Moore  Keitch  had  inherited  it  from  her  father,  Nicholas 
Moore,  and  Moore  had  received  it  from  William  Penn,  Proprietary  and  Governor 
in  Chief  of  the  Province,  as  part  of  a  tract  of  9,815  acres,  by  patent,  Aug.  i,  16S4,  on 
a  warrant  dated  Jan.  5,  i6,S2,  "following  certain  Indentures  of  I^ease  and  Relea.se 
bearing  date  ye  17th  &  iSth  days  of  Octobr.  Ao.  Do.  1681  to  Nicholas  Moore  of  ye 
city  of  Phila.,  Gent."  ,Subseqnently,  though  the  land  had  already  lieen  conveyed, 
William  Penn,  in  pursuance  of  h'is  policy  of  purchasing  the  Indian  title  to  the 
territory  embraced  in  his  Province,  secured  release  of  the  region  comprising  this 
tract  by  the  following  deed,  which  is  a  fair  sample  of  several  other  Indian  deeds 
of  like  import  covering  the  .same  section  of  country  : 

"  Indian  Deed  for  l,aiids  to  Wm.  Penn,  168.1.  I,  Tamanen.  this  23rd  day  of  ye  4tli 
month  called  June,  in  ye  year  according  to  ye  Kuglish  account  16S3  for  iiie  and  my

for  ye  Consideration  of  so  much  Wampum,  so  many  Guns,  .Shoes,  Stockings, 
I^ooking-glasses,  Itlanketts  and  other  goods  as  he  ye  sd.  'William  Penn  shall  please 
to  give  unto  me.    ♦    ■*    *    Tamnianens  X  Mark."— Pa.  Arch  ,  ist  ser.  i,  62. 

This  was  still  further  confirmed  by  a  document  signed  by  Kings  Taniinent 
(Tamanen),  Tangorus.  Swanipes,  and  Hickoqueon,  with  their  "marks,"  on  June 
\%  t6()2,  acknowledging  receipt  from  the  Commis.sioners  of  the  Proprietaries  full 
satisfaction  for  "all  that  Tract  of  I,and  formerly  belonging  to  'laminent  and 
other.Sj  wliich  we  parted  with  unto  Wm.  Penn,  Proprietor  of  this  province  of  Penn- 
silvania Sec.  The  said  Tract  lying  between  the  Neshaniinah  &  Poquessing  upon 
the  River  Delaware  and  e.xtending  backwards  to  the  utmo.st  bounds  of  the  said 
Province."— Pa.  Arch.,  ist  .sen,  i,  116. 

The  9.815  acre  tract  was  callefl  the  Manor  of  Moreland  in  honor  of  the  patentee, 
who  was  Penn's  first  Chief  Justice  in  the  Province,  and  President  of  the  Free 
Society  of  Traders.  It  lies  about  15  miles  11.  e.  of  the  city  of  Phila.,  and  was  in  the 
form  of  a  rectangle  about  6  miles  long  and  3  wide,  with  a  tongue  or  neck  extend- 
ing from  the  southern  corner.  When  Montgomery  and  llncks  Cos.  wei'e  erected 
from  Phila.  Co.,  the  rectangular  portion  was  ab.sorbed  in  the  new  Countie.s,  while 
the  projecting  strip,  comprising  3,700  acres,  was  left  with  Phila.  Co.,  to  constitute 
Moreland  Twp.  in  Phila.  Co.  JOHN  Dorla.ndt's  farm  was  in  the  portion  transferred 
to  Montgomery  Co. 

At  the  s.  w.  end  is  the  popular  summer  re.sort,  Willow  Grove.  The  Pennypack 
Creek  flows  .southward  from  the  middle  of  the  tract,  and  the  Poquessing  Creek 
rises  in  the  eastern  strip  and  flows  s.  e.  to  the  Delaware  with  a  coinpanion,  the 
famous  Ne.shaininy  Creek,  3  miles  east  and  parallel.  From  the  hill  of  Hor.seheaven, 
near  Willow  Grove,  on  the  east  side  of  the  York  Road,  can  be  .seen  Valley  Forge, 
Gerniantown.  Trenton,  and  Whiteniarsh.  The  old  York  Road  and  the  County 
I,ine  Road,  running  to  Moreland  from  the  city,  were  laid  out  in  1697.  The  first 
settlement  in  the  Manor  was  by  Moore  himself,  in  1685,  at  the  eastern  projection, 
near  the  present  village  of  Somerton  (formerly  ,Smithneld).  See  Schart  and  West- 
colt'.s  "  History  of  Phila.,"  i,  119,  1,^9,  and  Bean's  "  HLstory  of  Montgomery  Co." 
(Pa.),  975. 

It  is  probable  that  John  Dorlandt,  in  journeying  from  Staten  Island  to  More- 
land  Manor,  followed  the  old  turnpike  that  ran  from  Klizabeth,  N.  J.,  to  Railway, 
New  Urnnswick,  Ten  Mile  Run,  and  Trenton,  thence  across  the  Delaware  to  Mor- 
risvillc.  Pa.,— possibly  visiting  his  brother  Gekret  Janse  in  ,Somerset  Co.,  N.  J., 
on  the  way.  Many  other  families  well  known  on  I^oiig  Island,  ,Staten  Islantl,  and 
in  New  Jersey,  came  to  Phila.  and  bucks  Cos.,  before  the  Revolution  :  the  I^efferts,

property  is  mentioned  in  an  old  official  docnment  of  the 
year  1734.* 

The  life  of  the  family  in  that  beautiful  region  seems  to 
have  run  along  uneventfully  in  the  quiet  simplicity  that 
characterized  the  Colony  of  Penn,  save  as  the  home  circle 
was  broken  from  time  to  time  by  the  successive  marriages 
and  departure  of  the  sons  and  daughters.  All  the  children 
received  a  fair  education. 

On  December  12,  1746,  he  and  his  wife  Barbara  sold  the 
farm  to  Joshua  Morris,  of  Abington.f  and  on  November  20, 
1749,  purchased  a  smaller  tract  of  twenty-seven  acres  in 
IvOwer  Dublin  Township,  near  by.  %  He  was  about  sixty- 
nine  years  of  age  at  this  date,  and  it  may  be  inferred  that 
the  management  of  the  large  farm  had  become  irksome,  and 


*The  Historical  Society  of  Penna.  possesses  an  original  Ms.  jirepared  by  John 
Hyatt  and  addressed  "  To  the  Hoiiohle.  Tlionias  Penn  Esqr.  I'roprietor  of  the  Prov- 
ince of  Pennsilvania,"  containing  "A  lyist  of  the  Names  of  the  Inhabitants  of  the 
Co.  of  Phila.,  with  the  quantity  of  I..and  they  respectively  hold  therein  according 
to  the  uncertaine  returns  of  the  Coi;stable,  Anno  Doni.  ip4."  In  this  is  given  a 
rongh  approximation  of  the  lands  held  by  the  freeholders  in  each  twp.,  and  nnder 
"  Morland  Mannor  "  71  taxables  are  noted— 43  land-holders  and  2S  tenants.  Of  the 
land-holder.",  John  Dorland  is  mentioned  as  having  200  acres— inidoubtedly  the 
210-acre  tract. 

The  primitive  condition  of  Penn's  Colony  and  city  at  this  period  is  apparent 
from  the  record  that  in  the  year  1734  there  were  in  the  city  only  1,35.5  taxables,  in- 
clnding  single  men,  jonrneymen,  and  housekeepers,  and  in  the  County  outside 
only  3,6H,S.  The  city  was  supposed  to  have  i,.50o  houses  aiui  13,000  peojile.  Jree

that  the  smaller  tract  was  more  compatible  with  the  needs 
and  desires  of  his  declining  years.  This  purchase  of  the 
little  farm  is  the  last  exact  record  we  have  of  him. 

Most  of  his  children  were  married  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church  at  Abington,  and  his  grandchildren  in  Presby- 
terian Churches  at  Philadelphia ;  and  from  this  circum- 
stance it  is  believed  that  he  and  his  family  were  Presby- 
terians and  members  of  the  Abington  Church,  though  he 
had  been  reared  in  the  worship  of  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church. 
It  is  not  known  where  his  remains  and  those  of  his  wife 
repose  ;  but  if  they  were  interred  in  any  church-yard,  it  may 
be  surmised  that  it  was  the  old  Presbyterian  church-yard  at 
at  Abington.* 

John  Dorlandt  evidently  received  a  fair  education  in 
Brooklyn,  and  wrote  a  good  hand.  In  1720!  and  as  late  as 
1 73 1  he  signed  his  name  interchangeably  ' '  Yan  Dorlandt  ' ' 
and  "Jan  Dorlandt,"  thus:

thing, it  has  been  lost,  and  I  do  not  think  there  is  any  stone  bearing  the  name  of

There  he  lived  with  his  family,  purHuiiiK  his  avocation  of 


On  May  10,  17.S5.  he  purchased  of  Knoch  Kdwards.  of  Byberry  Twp..  t<cntleman, 
and  Frances  his  wife,  for  /".S'>-'^w.-.vl..  a  tract  of  2  acres  and  144  ;>erches  in  Hyherry, 
touching  the  Ixjumlary  line  between  Phila.  Co.  and  ]tucks(l'hiia.  :  Deeds,  I)  ^o — S4). 
<;>u  Oct.  20,  lyyi.  he  and  his  wife  sold  the  Sinithfield  property  to  John  Dyer,  of 
Moreland  Twp.,  for  £\\%  "current  Kf)ld  ami  stiver  ini'iiej*  nt  Penna.,"  by  deed 
dated  Sept.  8,  witnessed  I)y  Amos  Tuitcis.  ChristopluT  Vanasdalen,  and  I'atrick 
Croniylcr  ;  and  on  Oct.  20  they  also  sold,  for  /".(",  the  Hyberry  tract  to  Casi'KR 
KoADS,  of  Ilyberry,  the  husband  of  JoiiN'ssister  Makoakkt  (I'h'ila.  :  Deeds,  D  32— 
551).  The  si^natnres  to  Inith  of  these  conveyances  are  written  "John  Doklanu  " 
and  "Ann  Doui-and". 

On  Oct.  2.t  of  the  same  year  John  Dori.and  pnrcha.scdof  Tarry  Hall,  a  printer 
of  rhila.  (Chestnut  St.,  between  4th  and  .sthl.  for  /"is.  a  tract  01  land  in  central 
Penna.,  called  tlie  "  Ketreat,"  situated  "on  the  north  side  of  Juniata  Kiver  in 
Huntingdon  Twp.  in  the  Co,  of  Ilcdford  (lluntinjidon),"  containing  344  acres 
(Huntingdon  :  Deeds,  It  i— 3S3).  This  tract  is  described  in  the  old  surveys  as  beinf^ 
in  the  "  \\\%  I^ick  Woods,"  and  the  broken  region  tliereabout  is  still  known  as  the 
I^ick  kidKcs. 

Some  time  iK'fore  the  middle  of  the  following  year,  1792.  he  removed  with  his 
family  to  the  little  town  of  Huntingdon,  about  5  miles  from  this  land.  His  atten- 
tion was  probably  called  to  that  .settlement  by  the  residence  there,  previously,  of 
his  Aunt   Hkrmina,  with  whom  it  seems  he  was  the  favorite  nephew. 

The  town  had  been  founded  in  1767  by  Rev.  Dr.  William  Smith,  of  Phila.,  first 
Provost  of  the  Inivensityof  Penna.,  on  the  site  of  the  Standing  Stone  tract,  so  called 
from  the  ancient  Indian  pillar  which  stood  on  the  north  bank  of  the  JnniatR 
River— the  name  of  the  river  in  the  Irotpiois  tongue  sijiiiifying  "  Standing  Stone," 
A  fort  had  been  built  by  i)ioueer  settlers  before  175S  within  the  limits  of  the  town, 
calk'd  l'*ort  Standing  Stone,  and  the  town  for  .several  decades  was  also  known  as 
Standing  Stone,  or  Juniata,  although  Dr.  Smith  had  christened  it  Huntift^don,  in 
honor  of  Selina  Hastings,  Counle.ss  of  Huntingdon,  in  Kngland,  who  had  liberally 
contributed  funds  toward  the  improvement  of  the  University.  Until  17H7  Hedford 
Co,  included  all  of  Penna.  west  of  Cumberland  Co.,  but  in  17H7  the  Co.  of  Hunting- 
don, taking  its  name  from  the  town,  was  erected  from  Hedford.  In  1796  the  settle- 
ment was  incoriKirated  as  a  borough,  and  has  since  been  known  only  as  Hunting- 
don. It  now  has  a  population  of  7.o<x5  inhabitants,  and  is  famous  as  presenting  in 
its  environs  the  most  attractive  natural  scenery  in  the  beautiful  Juniata  Valley. 
The  centennial  anniversary  of  its  incor(M)ration  was  elalnirately  celebrated  Sept. 
S-io,  1H96.  The  circumstances  are  recalled  by  these  verse.s,  published  on  the 
occasion  : 

Huntingdon— 1796 :  1896. 
Joyful  we  meet  to-day,  in  festival  array. 

The  founding  of  her  walls  to  signalize  : 
A  century  has  fled  since  first  our  fathers  spread 
Her  early  bounds  and  bade  her  towers  rise. 
Green-girt  by  mountain^  bold,  lay  Huntingdon  of  old  ; 

Green-girt  and  fair  as  then  .she  yet  remains  ; 
Hut  from  the  sylvan  wild  has  .sijriing  a  lusty  child. 

And  groves  have  changed  to  teeming  oily  plains. 
From  sleeping  Riverview  to  Juniata's  blue, 

Fnmi  ancifiu  Standing  stone  to  Muddy  Run 
Her  limits  she  has  presscil,  thence  northward  far  and  we.st. 
Till  under  Warrior  Ridge  de.sct  nds  the  sun. 


Her  honored  past  endears  ;  her  goodly  present  cheers  : 

Guard  we  her  fame  for  future  centuries. 
Unharmed  may  .she  endure,  in  weal  and  peace  .secure, 

I-'irm  as  her  hills,  green  as  her  Summer  trees  ! 

John  Dorlanp's  autograph  account  book,  kept  duiing  his  residence  in  Hunt- 
ingdon Co.,  is  in  the  possession  of  the  compiler.  The  first  account  in  it  is  with 
Richard  Smith,  sou  of  Dr.  Smith,  the  founder  of  the  town,  and  l)ears  date  Nov. 
3,  1702  ;  the  la.sl  entry  bears  date  Feb.  %  1S13. 

In  Huntingdon  and  vicinity  he  acquired  a  large  amount  of  real  estate.  In  1794  he 
purchased  of  Christopher  Musser  lot  no.  9,s,  with  buildings,  at  the   n.  e.  corner  of

clia.sed  of  Joseph  Corlielt  lot  no.  20H.  at  the  11.  e.  comer  (if  5th  and  Miniin  St.s.,  ex- 
tending tiaek  to  the  hill.  In  I-eliruary,  isoi,  he  pnrehased  at  .sherilT  s  .sale  a  tract 
of  2.\U  acres  in  the  we.st  end  of  Ki.shaco(|nilIas  Valley,  snrveyod  under  the  name  of 
Mary  Clervif*. 

He  seeni.s  to  have  resided  at  once  on  the  property  at  s\\\  and  Penii  St.s.,  purchased 
in  i7</i.  He  i.s  located  there  in  the  assessment  fif  Hnnlin|.;don  'I'wp.  for  i7i/>  and 
i/yy.  Ills  name  first  appears  on  the  .'issc-isnient  cif  \~(yi,  when  he  wascrediled  with 
350  acres  ^dimhtless  the  Parry  Hall  tiiict).  2  horses,  and  i  cuw.  In  i7i;,ihewa>i 
as.ses.se<l  with  300  acres,  3  liorses,  1  c(»w.  and  i  house.  lu  I'/y.j  he  was  assessed  with 
34.J  acres,  1  luirse.  1  cow,  i  honst-  nnd  lot  (5th  ami  I'cnn),  and  1  out-lnt  (sth  ami 
Mifliin).  In  1795  he  was  assL'ss«.-d  with  i.ki  acre.s additional  (prohahly  intended  f  •*• 
the  Kishacotiuilias  tract),  and  witli  H  out-lots.  In  iSui  he  was  assessed  with  3 
vacant  town  lots,  23  out-lt)t.s,  1  horse.  2  cows.  .\\.\  acres  of  unseated  land,  and  his 
dwelliuK-lumse  and  lot.  In  1S02,  the  same,  with  2  cows  additional,  and  2  vacant 
lots  instead  of  3.  In  1S03  he  was  also  assessed  with  231  acres  of  unseated  land  in 
Shirley  Twp. 

The  variations  in  the  spellinjf  of  his  name  on  these  assessment  lists  for  several 
years  after  his  arrival  in  IhinlinK'don  illustrate  the  curious  treatment  of  which  the 
name  was  snsceptihle  in  a  new  country  where  it  had  not  appeared  beftire.  Thus 
in  1792  it  is  ^ivea  correctly.  Dohi.and^  probably  fmm  his  own  dictation;  but  in 
1793  we  find  it  Diuhti  ;  in  17'H,  Dnliu^;  in' I7vis,  /huliu  ;  in  1797.  DorJind ;  in 
iKoi,  y7a/7(/H  ,■  and  in  I^^o2,  Dothin.     After  that   it  became   pretty   well   fixed  as 

UOHLANI). 

On  Tunc  .1.  179H.  he  was  initiated  ns  an  Kntered  Apprentice  Mason  in  I^odge  No. 
55  at  flnntinj;don.  On  June  11  he  received  the  dct^ree  of  I'ellow  Craft  Mason,  and 
on  June  21,  the  deforce  of  Ma.ster  Mason.  On  I-eb.  3,  iSoo,  he  was  elected  Senior 
Deacon  of  the  I/)djje,  and  on  June  2,  iS()2,  Senior  Warden. 

It  is  l)elieve<l  that  it  was  some  time  in  1S05  or  i.s</>  that  he  removed  permanently 
to  his  farm  on  the  I,ick  Kid^es,  where  he  remained  until  his  death,  and  where  his 
older  sons  assisted  him. 

His  real  estate  al  the  time  of  his  death  consisted  of  5  farms  in  Henderson  Twp,, 
embracitiy  1,107  acres,  including  the  homestead,  appraised  in  the  af^^j^regate  at 
$4,403.98.  He  had  previously  advanced  to  his  son  JosiUMi  by  ^ift  a  tiirm  of  2ik) 
acres,  whereon  Joskimi  lived,  near  the  liomstead. 

From  the  inventory  of  his  per-'^oual  estate,  made  by  John  Ilcatty  and  John 
McCabe,  ami  filed  Sei)t.  35.  1S13  (HnntiuKdon  :  i  ;-iKi3)  one  can  in  mind  readily 
reconstruct  the  furnisliin^s  of  that  homestead  and  the  conditions  attending  the 
life  there  ;  and.  eonsiderinj<  the  primitive  state  of  that  re^^ion  al  the  time,  it  is 
clear  that  the  establishment  was  a  comfortable  and  generous  one,  plentiftdly  pro- 
vided with  more  than  the  ordinary  facilities  for  a  hai)py  and  independent  existt- nee. 
This  is  the  list  of  all  his  "  j;oods  and  chaltils,"  etnbraciu^c  hoiiseluild  furniture, 
utensils,  implements,  ami  luunety  miscellaneous  articles,  also  the  general  farm 
equipment— bees,  spring-house,  'still-house,  smoke-hon.se,  wind-mill,  live  stuck,

the  safest  anil  most  successful  usiness  man  in  the  comnmnity.  His  amiable  per-

in  the  InteRrity,  Ability,  and  Punctuality  of  Isaac  Uorlano,  Ksqr.,  I  do  appoint 
him  n  Post-Master,  and  authorize  hinj  to  execute  the  duties  of  that  Office  at  Hunt- 
ingdon,  Huntingdon  Co.  and  State  of  Peiina.  •  «  »  Washington  City,  the 
eighth  day  of  September  in  the  year  of  our  I,ord  one  thousand  eight  huiulred  and 
twenty-five,  and  of  the  independence  of  the  United  States  the  fiftieth.  John  Mc- 
Lean.    Registered  Jind  day  of  Septeml)er,  1835.    Newton  Ilerryman,  Cleric." 

Subse<iuently  he  opened  in  the  same  location  the  first  book-store  in  the  borough, 
and  conducted  it  until  his  ileath,  resuming  also  his  work  as  scliool-master. 
Meanwhile  he  .served  as  admr.  and  exr,  in  the  .settlement  of  many  estates,  and 
was  secretary  and  treasurer  of  the  Juniata  Ilridge  Company,  proprietors  of  the  toll 
bridge  at  the  upper  end  of  Port.stown,  a  suburb  of  Huntingdon.  He  was  a  large 
property  owner  111  Huntingdon  and  vicinity,  holding,  among  others,  tracts  across 
Crooked  Creek,  on  7tb  St.,  along  Warm  Springs  Ave.,  and  on  Oneida  St.,— part  of 
which  latter  was  named  Dorland  St.  in  his  honor. 

He  was  noted  for  his  beautiful  penmanship,  and  for  his  accuracy  and  precision 
in  drawing  up  documents  and  official  i>ape. s.  The  compiler  has  seveial  manu- 
script volumes  of  his  autograph— postolRce  accc-ints,  tuition  accounts,  and  memo- 
rniuluin  books,  which  are  marvels  of  chirography. 

In  an  obituary  notice,  the  "  Huntingdon  Journal "  of  Mar.  19,  1846,  .said  of  him  : 
"  Mr.  DoKLAND  lived  in  this  lurongh  the  greater  par^of  the  time  from  1791,  and  liy 
the  correctness  of  his  conduct  always  had  the  confidence  of  those  who  knew  his 
many  virtues.  »  •  *  The  citizens  of  this  borough  and  throughout  the  county 
gave  the  best  evi<lence  of  the  esteem  in  which  they  held  him,  by  giving  him  im- 
IKirtaiit  busiiK'ss  to  transact.  The  decea.sed,  although  very  moral  and  exemplary, 
did  not  make  a  pnblic  profession  of  religion  until  January,  1843,  at  which  time  he 
united  with  the  Presb.  Ch.  in  this  Imrough.  He  was  an  ornament  to  his  profes.sion, 
and  .showed  to  all  about  him  the  exctUencies  of  the  religion  which  he  professed." 

In  per.soii  be  was  of  niediuin  height,  about  ■;  feet  10  or  11  inches,  ana  was  some- 
whpt  inclined  to  stoutness.  In  his  later  years  his  hair  was  snowy  white,  and  he 
kept  hs  face  smooth-shaven.  When  a  lioy  one  of  his  legs  had  to  l>e  amputated, 
owing  to  accidental  injury,  and  thereafter  he  used  a  crutch.  His  daughter  Mar- 
OAKKTTA  says  of  him  :  "  Hii  di.s|Kisitiou  was  kind  and  gentle,  and  he  was  a  most 
affectionate  father.  He  was  quiet  in  his  manner  and  habits,  but  he  enjoyed  his 
friends'  society  and  jokes,  and  could  relate  jokes  and  a  good  story  himself.  He 
was  very   fond  of   reading  and  of  gardening,  in  his  leisure  hours." 

All  of  his  children  were  b.  at  Huntingdon,  and  his  daus.  were  all  m.  there. 

•Jane  McNamara  was  the  2d  dan.  of  Robert  McNamara,  Jr.,  and  Jane 
Collins,  who  emigrated  with  6  ch.  from  Ballynahiuch  to  America  in  1801,  arriving 
at  the  port  of  Phila.  in  Novemlier  of  that  year.  They  lived  at  Phila.  about  6 
months ;  thence  removed  to  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  and  remained  there  almut  6  months  ; 
and  tlieuce  removed  to  Iluntingdoii,  where  they  res.  for  some  years  at  the  s.  w.

member  of  the  Fresb.  Ch.,  ami  labored  faithfully  for  its  interests.  She  was  Supt. 
of  the  Sunday  School  for  some  years,  and  entered  with  zeal  into  all  festivities  that 
gave  pleasure  and  encouragement  to  the  pupils.  In  her  home  she  was  a  pattern 
of  a  housewife.  As  a  neighbor  and  friend,  all  who  lived  near  her  can  bear  testi- 
mony to  her  kindness  of  heart  and  her  truly  Christian  ministrations  to  the  sick 
and  iieed^'.  During  the  Civil  War,  no  one  was  more  interested  or  active  than  she 
in  ]iroviding  for  the  wants  of  oiir  soldiers,  sending  to  the  trains  food  to  sustain  the 
troops,  while  her  ble,s.sings  and  prayers  followed  them  to  the  seat  of  war.  Her 
illiie.ss  was  short.  Aliont  sunset  on  the  evening  of  Sept.  22,  1S62,  she  peacefully 
closed  her  eyes,  and  sank  into  that  sacred  sleep  which  Uod  givetli  to  His

Clure's  New  York  Regt.  Krom  the  diary  and  letters  of  Capt.  Allison  it  appears 
that  he  purchased  clothing  and  shoes  for  his  men  out  of  his  owu  purse,  and  on 
Nov.  II  received  11,737.60  on  that  account.  The  company  had  left  Huntingdon

siilTered  for  want  of  sufficient  clothing.  On  Nov.  28  the  company  participated  in 
the  attempt  to  cross  the  Niagara  River  to  attack  the  Canadian  batteries  at  Kort 
Krie. 

Capt.  Allison  .says  :  "  The  American  forces  were  paraded  in  detachments  on  the 
shore.  The  British  troops  and  Indians  were  drawn  up  in  line  of  battle  on  the 
opirosite  shore,  their  cannon  playing  at  our  boats  all  the  time — our  cannon  firing 
at  their  soldiers  and  batteries.  The  balls  were  whistling  about  in  every  direction, 
and  appeared  to  be  totally  disregarded.  The  scene  was  extremely  grand,  and  yet 
something  awful  in  it.  Our  boat  nt'empted  a  second  time  to  enter  the  stream. 
Cannon  began  to  fire  at  them.  It  was  then  growing  towards  evening.  A  council 
of  war  was  called  by  the  General,  after  the  breaking  upof  which  orders  were  given
